Joshua Konopaki, attorney for the property owners Richard and Jacqueline Offerman, told the board the six‑unit apartment building had been incorrectly listed as seven units in the assessor’s records and submitted multiple recent sales comparables to support a lower valuation. Konopaki's packet included a spreadsheet of local four‑to‑seven‑unit sales from the city assessor’s public data, photos of the subject property, and comparables such as a four‑unit condo complex that sold in November 2024 for $725,000 and other multi‑family sales he said were comparable in age, condition and unit mix.

Konopaki argued the subject property was older, in lesser condition, and had fewer modern amenities (only one unit with in‑unit laundry, no attached garages) than several comparables the assessor used. He presented two alternative valuation figures the taxpayers considered supportable: $425,000 (the taxpayer’s preferred figure) and $470,289.40 (an alternate). Konopaki asked the board to correct the unit count and accept the lower assessment.

City Assessor Laurie Swarden confirmed the assessor’s original roll value but acknowledged data discrepancies had been raised during the hearing (unit count and square footage). Swarden told the board she would update the assessment record with the additional information provided and confirmed that sales‑comparison and income considerations had been part of the assessor's review.

After deliberation the board concluded the taxpayer had met the burden of proof to rebut the presumption of correctness. The board voted to set the new assessment at land $111,400 and improvements $313,600 for a total of $425,000. The motion cited Wisconsin Statute 70.47(9)(a). The vote was recorded as Eric Dunst, Christy D'Angelo and Sarah Roth voting in favor. The assessor's office will update the roll and mail appeal information as required.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Waukesha, WI - Board of Review on 2025-07-29 9:00 AM","oneSentenceSummary","After reviewing sales comparables and data discrepancies, the Board of Review found the Offermans presented sufficient evidence to lower the 2025 assessment for 823 Northeast Avenue to $425,000 (land $111,400; improvements $313,600).","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},6584828,"Board of Review sustains assessor's valuation for second Waukesha dealership appeal",1403,3447000,4850000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5503409-a874cd6ada899fc24788b399936dcc00&start=3447&end=4850","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5503409-a874cd6ada899fc24788b399936dcc00/thumbnail_3447000.jpg","/articles/6584828/Waukesha-City/Waukesha-County/Wisconsin/Board-of-Review-sustains-assessors-valuation-for-second-Waukesha-dealership-appeal","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6584828-029bd9f0905b36b7bda20605c81102fc/orig.mp4?Expires=1770450896&Signature=BPVBWCDt-tgUJ9ryl8KsSbUqRDGiweXM6SAXpJE2xYirmnmML2nC2MR5BtbLqdIddPFwcZw-5ZXTVPQ~zhkYDo0U9Ey6b65UcAGq02Rb~6kZGOk3T33kvkvbNj61kdnF-mk3HFrRkR2i8jjtsBmAiSJwBA3~2FC-nO9S~-Dbat0MTCfQY8M8B-6ktWSWwU7Sf8v~p1mr~UhRVJKZayuMUDh~sGIaQDlrdfuOd1pel4RBu1xtAenC6NC36ew1-mCZ6-4FGnS4qYOYbSM5Lwg2sMYEfAAU7bfmnnma31z85xwW~wl0dwvjOP7S1uLdpxbJFLBCUz2ApSYbbNvxRgECbg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Waukesha Board of Review sustained the assessor's valuation for a commercial property at 1710 South Highway 164 following testimony from the property agent and the city assessor.

At the July 29 session, the Board of Review heard the Wyld family’s appeal (agent Wayne Tannenbaum) challenging a large increase in the assessment. The agent argued the assessor’s increase between recent years was disproportionate and presented cost and sales information he said supported a materially lower improvement value. The agent emphasized dealership properties are difficult to value and presented an alternative cost-based improvement calculation he said was several million dollars below the assessor’s figure.

City Assessor Laurie Swarden responded with an analysis that relied primarily on comparable sales (local comparables plus several dealership sales outside the city) and third‑party analytics (CoStar). The assessor said those comparables supported the assessor’s view of market value and that the assessor’s methodology conformed to statutory requirements. The assessor noted a higher-cost methodology existed in the assessor’s system but that the sales-comparison approach was the most appropriate for this property.

During deliberations board members said the sales-comparison evidence the assessor presented was the most credible on the record. The board determined the objector had not presented sufficient evidence to rebut the presumption of correctness granted to the assessor and entered a finding sustaining the assessor's valuation under Wisconsin Statute 70.47(9)(a). The motion to sustain carried by roll call vote; the board recorded three yes votes from Christy D'Angelo, Eric Dunst and Sarah Roth. The assessor will mail appeal information to the property owner.","After testimony from the property agent and the city assessor, the Waukesha Board of Review upheld the assessor’s valuation for the Wyld family property on South Highway 164.",{"_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},6584833,"Waukesha Board of Review upholds assessor valuation for East Moreland Honda dealership",2040,1303000,3343000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5503409-a874cd6ada899fc24788b399936dcc00&start=1303&end=3343","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5503409-a874cd6ada899fc24788b399936dcc00/thumbnail_1303000.jpg","/articles/6584833/Waukesha-City/Waukesha-County/Wisconsin/Waukesha-Board-of-Review-upholds-assessor-valuation-for-East-Moreland-Honda-dealership","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6584833-5dfe3e4173a41cdf18929b129ddef5d3/orig.mp4?Expires=1770450896&Signature=N-0be5~E4PUCCsjLjE~DXKJ1GJyPSI67RRtcnnbUuP0K8h3a90wtI48GnUJN8duaSl65MsI8g3egokYaI27xjHV1O7ni9kAcPnJkPWuGaGl~5FsaenCO5p6cRLj9QRikx7Sb4NbR6GdgBRvP9F8x8P-9I-OD5mrpixDH1ZDzXID9ctN7FSlXhbda7uC49ChMfGDKwSEXrM1zThrXQXuBio8WbAuxVMtHnbgJinKBJvJmEHUYcIYQagETY~6tRkg1BTuiNZaW5eKxx29eYRYF6EPdgxcljW96kxlnHKeJpx36TSpFBHnWaQmhCtmbbFBHVjLe6mhConapJ-Dg2JjI8Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Waukesha Board of Review upheld the assessor's valuation for the Wild Family property at 1603 East Moreland Boulevard, finding the assessor's sales-comparison evidence more persuasive than the objector's cost-based analysis.

The decision came July 29 during the City of Waukesha Board of Review meeting. Christy D'Angelo, chair of the Board of Review, presided. The board sustained the assessor's valuation by majority roll call under Wisconsin Statute 70.47(9)(a). Board members Eric Dunst and Sarah Roth joined D'Angelo in voting to sustain the assessment.

The property owner (agent Wayne Tannenbaum) sought a revised total assessed value of $5,300,000, arguing the county’s improvement values were overstated and presenting a cost approach and land comparables. The agent told the board the dealership building had limited recent remodeling and submitted Marshall & Swift cost factors and several land comparables to support a lower improvement and total value.

City Assessor Laurie (Lori) Swarden presented the assessor's analysis, saying local and out‑of‑area sales comparables and third‑party analytics (CoStar) supported the assessor’s figure; the assessor's adjusted sales-comparison analysis produced a value the assessor maintained at approximately $5,984,000 in her presentation. Swarden also explained the assessor’s record splits the parcel into multiple functional components (showroom, repair bay, car wash) and that a cost methodology in the assessor's system was present but not relied on as the primary valuation method for this property.

In deliberations board members noted the difficulty of valuing auto dealerships because many reported sales include personal property or franchise values and comparables are limited. The board concluded the assessor’s sales comparables and analysis were the most credible evidence on the record and that the Wild Family agent had not rebutted the statutory presumption of correctness accorded to the assessor.

The board’s written findings cite Wisconsin Statute 70.47(9)(a) and the Wisconsin Property Assessment Manual in support of the decision. The assessor will mail appeal information to the property owner.","The City of Waukesha Board of Review sustained the assessor's $5,000,009.84 assessment for the Wild Family property at 1603 East Moreland Boulevard after hearing testimony from the property agent and the city assessor.","actionData","errors"]
