The assessment of your property is determined by the Assessor as of January 1 of each year.  Under Wisconsin Statutes, the Assessor's values are presumed correct unless proven otherwise, placing the burden of proof on the taxpayer.  If you are not satisfied with the assessment of your property, the time to do something about it is during Open Book.  You do not need an appointment.  You simply come in and speak with the assessor during the set Open Book hours.  Open Book is held remotely or in person at the assessor's office.  The date is typically in May of each year.  Please check this webpage for notices about the Open Book date.

If, after reviewing your information at Open Book, you believe your property is not assessed fairly in relation to other properties in the Town of Pleasant Valley, you must file a written objection form to be heard by the formal Board of Review.  Factual evidence must be presented at the hearing.  The Board of Review is typically scheduled about one week after the Open Book in May.  Please check this webpage for notices of the date and procedures for the Board of Review.
