In each contested case the Board reviewed evidence and comparables and then voted by roll call. The Board generally sustained the assessor's valuation in the cases recorded at the session.

Votes at a glance

- 2601 Brookstone Court (Tracy Foss): Current assessment reported at $488,700. Owner presented a March 13, 2025 property evaluation showing an estimated value of $444,000 and cited a 2014 rec-room improvement. The assessor presented a comparable-sales analysis and argued the assessor's valuation was supported by recent sales. Motion to uphold the assessor’s valuation carried by roll call; assessment stands at $488,700.

- 1420 Gabriel Drive, Unit 3 (Kelly Hazard): Assessment on the roll was $327,500 (land $59,400; improvements $268,100). Owner presented multiple photos and argued condition and window failures made her unit below the complex average; assessor presented five 2024 sales and adjusted price-per-square-foot analysis. The Board voted to uphold the assessor’s valuation; assessment stands as listed.

- 827 Concord (Conifer) Court (Mark and Beth Leverenz): Owners requested a reduction from the roll valuation of $646,300; they argued a nearby and nearly identical unit had a lower assessment and that a basement/second fireplace should not be treated as equivalent. The Board reviewed comparable sales and sustained the assessor’s valuation.

- 3027 Tanglewood Drive (Gregory Harder): Owner sought a reduction from the roll; assessor reduced the assessment in open book from an earlier figure but the Board found the assessor’s adjusted valuation supported by local sales and sustained the assessor’s figure ($543,100 as recorded).

- 1436 Big Bend Road, Unit E (Dean Richard): Owner asked the Board to find an assessed value of $148,000 based on condo comps; assessor presented five 2024 sales and explained methodology. The Board concluded the owner did not present sufficient evidence to rebut the assessor’s valuation and sustained the assessor’s revised figure ($155,400).

Procedure and appeals

The Board explained that the statutory presumption favors the assessor's valuation unless a taxpayer provides evidence sufficient to rebut it. Where the Board sustained the assessor the clerk provided instructions and written notice to appellants about the right to appeal the Board’s decision to circuit court. Where waivers were granted earlier in the meeting, hearings will be scheduled on the newly selected dates.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Waukesha, WI - Board of Review on 2025-06-06 9:00 AM - Jun 06, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Board of Review heard several valuation appeals and ruled mostly to uphold the assessor's values; the article lists each hearing, the decision, and next steps.","taxTitle","Waukesha City, Waukesha County, Wisconsin","taxId",9326,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6536733,"Board approves multiple requests to testify by telephone or submit sworn written statements",252,3480000,3732000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3694939-8d2a615f566b40905bf40cf484d038c0&start=3480&end=3732","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3694939-8d2a615f566b40905bf40cf484d038c0/thumbnail_3480000.jpg","/articles/6536733/Waukesha-City/Waukesha-County/Wisconsin/Board-approves-multiple-requests-to-testify-by-telephone-or-submit-sworn-written-statements","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6536733-21d1a1cca864fcf0dc5ecaeb4614f8b3/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448253&Signature=W~fg3Cnrx7CZqbwnLxmkf5m~YZmlKQS9IisMP-kOftpO8dKmCznxM9yv4K1TIHgjyVlVxlDL5~ushVmtm~xLV0nwfXDGyFJ5B~KMbaMz9yEanuoNKKcGwtCVZ23O42mtcAKLrr4JbxKepGnjOmsTle0lBPYBa-BaewzJh6XL~6spD-qeYFhwVzux0XpWXTGB3uGPGhP5mdQK5Jk4f~1EKtHeivBUEDvxqO4MRSeZjE~OiPrKhl5FDd90gSSM7yUTKVPNeOb219OcY2UhyWCnYp4d1HDUz3Lwknq3RucmgE7LyJaerKo4eY9Gx8qa3AFsFXYpz~Ua2vlMPzSuR7l5Pw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","During its June 6 session the Board approved numerous requests from property owners and agents to provide sworn testimony by telephone or to submit sworn written statements. Requesters cited travel burden, health concerns, or out‑of‑state locations.

Approved requests included remote appearances or sworn statements for businesses and property owners including Burger King (ID 2051155), Lithia Motors (PC20569), LRG LLC, Realty Income, Wyld Family Limited Partnership (two filings), MKJEB LLC and others listed in the clerk packet. Motion votes were handled by roll call for each request and were routinely approved on a finding that travel presented a significant burden or health risk.

Board members said the remote testimony procedure had been adopted earlier in the meeting and that approvals will be scheduled consistent with the Board’s remote‑testimony policy. Approved remote witnesses will receive scheduling information or instructions for submitting sworn written testimony through the clerk’s office.","The Board granted a string of requests allowing out-of-state or unavailable property owners or representatives to testify by telephone or submit sworn written statements rather than appear in person.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6536738,"Board rules on dozens of 48‑hour waiver requests; multiple waivers approved, some denied",923,1655000,2578000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3694939-8d2a615f566b40905bf40cf484d038c0&start=1655&end=2578","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3694939-8d2a615f566b40905bf40cf484d038c0/thumbnail_1655000.jpg","/articles/6536738/Waukesha-City/Waukesha-County/Wisconsin/Board-rules-on-dozens-of-48hour-waiver-requests-multiple-waivers-approved-some-denied","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6536738-73180aac0fb57e7d112aade3de785e99/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448253&Signature=YgTzRg-J6HFoHNoCRMVnapqSH9JCTAHnDODLuOp2xlRTDGbraXdRo~A79n3T3yqS4hILjfBJ-jmUzXkf7ekT2kuuCqMs9vVGe6m9CXUotQd~yqgwV7P7pvIwP5vQnxIxtC61lRyHAS9oD3qHpe7M73XU9kCMHOH0U400LWln3w5~FLsimwy9dKL09nKCBNeFMyrOZZsOXNp7IdozcOtqFwzfmJ58PjOWAG56obui7ll35v8CeuteVuIoUp1WA13IcIgD0cCEsS~DzwcDXuwAxp98Y0ktGQmQFGoi5aqW6uuP07uki1zHcpaBuQzH5txxrDT7jNkNiPKTdKkort9zAA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Review spent much of its June 6 session considering individual requests to waive the statutory 48‑hour notice of intent to file an objection. Dozens of taxpayers and their representatives appeared in person or by email; the Board voted on each waiver request after hearing explanations of why the notice was late.

Outcomes were mixed. The Board granted waivers in numerous cases where petitioners showed illness, death in the family, confusion over mailed notices, or where staff confirmed late mailing or paperwork errors. Examples of approved waivers include: Amanda Devalde (3611 Hawthorne Hill Drive), Christopher Schaffer (1371 Harris Drive), Barton Bender (2001 Brunner Court), Paul Cook (2005 Brunner Court), Jacquarita Hanline for two properties (1917 Madera Street and 501 Randall Street), Dale Moss for two commercial properties (2312 and 2314 North Grandview Boulevard), Harold Maddox for three properties (113 Kilps Court West; 2027 Kilps Drive; 457 North Grandview Boulevard), and multiple others. Several applicants were rescheduled because they had timely-filed objections but were not assigned a hearing date today.

The Board denied waivers where it found sufficient notice or prior opportunity to appeal. Notable denials included Robert Eastman (449 Dunbar — denied) and Joshua Jacobson (312 Harrison Avenue — denied). In each denial the Board cited that the petitioner had received the notice and had avenues for appeal or had not shown good cause.

For petitioners granted waivers, the Board directed staff to schedule hearings on either June 17 or June 24 (dates the Board set during the meeting) and required that any objector who had not yet filed the formal objection form must do so the same day as the waiver approval. The clerk and assessor also clarified filing and scheduling procedures for those rescheduled.","At a lengthy June 6 hearing the Board of Review considered many requests to waive the 48‑hour notice requirement tied to filing intent to object to assessments.

Clerk's staff confirmed the assessment roll and supporting affidavits were received electronically and made available in a shared folder. The assessor told the Board that the Department of Revenue no longer requires an annual assessment report and that the city had not compiled one for that reason. Board members examined the roll, confirmed three corrections and one omission had been finalized, and discussed that open-book changes would be reflected in the roll.

During discussion the assessor noted there were 62 properties with pending corrections not yet reflected on the published roll. The Board approved a motion accepting the assessment roll “subject to the 62 corrections” recommended by the assessor’s office. The motion was seconded and passed by roll-call.

Following that vote, the Board opened its docket to petitions and numerous waiver and scheduling requests for hearings under the adopted policies.","After reviewing submissions and open-book changes, the Board of Review accepted the City of Waukesha 2025 assessment roll but approved acceptance subject to 62 corrections noted by the assessor's office.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6536748,"Waukesha Board of Review adopts procedures for remote testimony and waiver requests",145,697000,842000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3694939-8d2a615f566b40905bf40cf484d038c0&start=697&end=842","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3694939-8d2a615f566b40905bf40cf484d038c0/thumbnail_697000.jpg","/articles/6536748/Waukesha-City/Waukesha-County/Wisconsin/Waukesha-Board-of-Review-adopts-procedures-for-remote-testimony-and-waiver-requests","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6536748-7ec645e80efd8229350ead0a522434ca/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448253&Signature=YIZqNwQgz9GY7~DygjOcgWx5vSsZROOXhZG-CLV88FcZrtzRu8KYVvWTVW3xutpP~P6jmTwecPHkC2WtedXGAWS229w5NFfsQeBUoyZZuXLPWqNui~a8zrktzVYsTi3BIjfuyrseCSfzRs0h5eTPJbgStwAq6BhnypcYIeMmRM8A-6InKvyb8NT8OF1mzftKnU~p5Y2-p6j7jB4sfRejw77Pa5nbu3-Sa0SIFwwFJq4gRlWn7gSKhniAciFAZj7E2EOxNeHdNFoWQV3r8BhQ80~c1kr7pur2YRYiU-cOq3osPxLAul19CkZqAv-oOJlcCTXk8kQXQG0qPRKF2p7OpA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Waukesha Board of Review on June 6 adopted two administrative policies: one setting procedures for sworn telephone and sworn written testimony requests, and another establishing the procedure for waiver requests of Board of Review hearings.

Board members began the meeting by confirming the publication of meeting notices and that members had completed required training. Assistant City Attorney Michael Radovich confirmed there were no new laws affecting the Board. The Board then voted to adopt the policy on sworn telephone and sworn written testimony requests and, subsequently, the policy on waivers of Board of Review hearing requests.

Board members discussed the adoption process only; the clerk and staff explained the policies will govern how out-of-state or otherwise unavailable appellants may provide sworn evidence and how the Board will handle requests to waive in-person hearing requirements or the 48-hour notice rule. Both motions carried by voice/roll-call vote.

The adopted procedures are administrative rules for handling testimony and waiver requests; specifics of individual waivers and remote testimony approvals were addressed separately during the meeting.

The Board moved on after both votes to take up receipt and certification of the assessment roll and a long series of waiver and scheduling requests.","The Board of Review voted June 6 to adopt formal procedures for sworn telephone or written testimony and for waiver requests of Board of Review hearings, after confirming statutory notices and training requirements.","actionData","errors"]
