June 10, 2026 - Board of Review Notice
NOTICE OF BOARD OF REVIEW 2026
TOWN OF GRAND CHUTE
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Board of Review (BOR) for the Town of Grand Chute, Outagamie County, shall hold its annual meeting on June 10, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. satisfying the requirement of meeting during the 45-day period starting the 4th Monday in April according to Wis. Stats. 70.47. The BOR shall be in session for at least 2 hours. The meeting will be held in the Board Room at 1900 W. Grand Chute Boulevard.
Please be advised of the following requirements to appear before the BOR and procedural requirements if appearing before the Board:
Sec. 70 .47(7)(aa), Wis. Stats. provides that the BOR may deny a hearing to a property owner who does not allow the assessor to complete an exterior view. However, the Wisconsin Supreme Court expressed due process concerns regarding a similarly worded statute in Milewski v. Town of Dover, 2017 WI 79, 377 Wis .2d 38, 899 N.W .2d 30. It is the Department of Revenue’s recommendation to allow a BOR hearing even if the property owner denied an interior or exterior view. The lack of access to view, and the credibility of evidence offered can be managed as an evidentiary issue at a BOR hearing, rather than denying access to the BOR
After the first meeting of the BOR and before the Board's final adjournment, no person who is scheduled to appear before the BOR may contact, or provide information to, a member of the Board about the person's objection except at a session of the Board.
No person may appear before the BOR, testify by telephone, or contest an assessment unless that person provides the Clerk of the BOR with at least 48 hours’ notice before the Board meeting. If a person is granted a waiver of the 48-hour notice requirement by appearing before the Board during the first two hours of the meeting, showing good cause for failing to meet the notice requirement, and filing a written objection, then the required notice must be provided at least 48 hours before the objection is heard. The notice must state whether the person will request the removal of any Board members, identify any member to be removed, and include a reasonable estimate of the length of the hearing.
When appearing before the Board, the person shall specify, in writing, the person's estimate of the value of the land and of the improvements that are the subject of the person's objection and specify the information that the person used to arrive at that estimate.
No person may appear before the BOR, testify to the Board by telephone or object to a valuation; if that valuation was made by the Assessor or the Objector using the income method; unless the person supplies the Assessor all of the information about income and expenses, as specified in the manual under Sec. 73.03(2a), that the Assessor requests. The Town of Grand Chute has an ordinance for the confidentiality of information about income and expenses that is provided to the Assessor under this paragraph which provide exemptions for persons using information in the discharge of duties imposed by law or of the duties of their office or by order of a court. The information that is provided under this paragraph, unless a court determines that it is inaccurate, is not subject to the right of inspection and copying under Section 19.35(1) of Wis. Statutes.
The Board shall hear upon oath, by telephone, all ill or disabled persons who present to the Board a letter from a physician, surgeon or osteopath that confirms their illness or disability.
