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 assumed to be correct unless proven otherwise, which places 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 at the Town Hall located at S10414 Cty Rd HH/I in Cleghorn. The date is typically in July of each year. Please watch this webpage for notices of the date of Open Book.
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.

Each year, radon kills more people than home fires, drowning, falls or drunk driving. Eau Claire County has a high rate of homes with high levels of radon. Yet many community members know very little about radon. Over 35% of tested homes in the county exceed the level of radon that is considered safe to have around your home.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that comes from the soil beneath and around some of our homes. In some homes here in Eau Claire it accumulates to levels that create a risk to the residents. Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer for non-smokers! You can't smell or taste it but it puts your family at risk!
Test your home for radon by purchasing a short-term test kit at the Eau Claire City County Health Department for just $10!. For more information on radon or the test kits please call the Eau Claire City County Health Department at (715) 839-4718.
