Live From City Hall - Citizens Board of Review

The Citizens Board of Review meeting held on June 2, 2026, focused primarily on property tax assessment objections and procedural compliance. The board reviewed and approved meeting minutes, confirmed proper public notices and training affidavits, and discussed the adoption of updated rules and procedures for the board. Significant time was devoted to considering whether to dismiss objections filed by Walmart Real Estate Business Trust and Sam's Real Estate Business Trust due to failure to provide required income and expense information within statutory deadlines. After presentations from the assessor's office and legal representatives, the board voted unanimously to dismiss these objections based on incomplete submissions and noncompliance with Wisconsin statutes. Additionally, the board reviewed another objection related to JVT Investment LLC, ultimately dismissing it for failure to provide proper authorization documentation. The meeting concluded with scheduling a hearing for a separate objection and no new subpoenas or waivers were issued.
