Members moved to appoint a chair and a vice chair; the motions carried by voice vote and the board confirmed its officers for the session.

City Assessor Kirk Redmond provided the assessor’s sworn statement and affidavit; the board received and filed the assessor’s statement after it was signed and notarized. The board acknowledged compliance with training requirements and the confidentiality provision for income and expense information provided under Wisconsin law (the board referenced Wisconsin Statute 70.47 earlier in the meeting during that agenda item).

The board reviewed changes to the assessment roll provided by the assessor: pages listing adjustments made during open-book review and pages noting corrections for errors (including municipality-exempt parcels changed to $0). The board moved to receive and accept those open-book changes and separately moved to accept the certification of corrections of errors under Wisconsin Statute 70.43; both motions passed by voice vote.

The board confirmed that open-book changes were included in the assessment roll and that the assessment data would remain available through the end of the meeting for taxpayer examination. Noting that no timely objections had been filed for a hearing that day, the board recorded that one notice of intent to object had been received but was not timely for a hearing on June 4.

Finally, the board set the schedule for objection hearings: June 18, June 26 and July 16, with the meeting adjourned and reconvened as necessary. The board adjourned the session and set the next meeting date as June 18.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Kenosha, WI - Board of Review - Jun 04, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","At the June 4 Kenosha Board of Review meeting the board elected officers, received and notarized the assessor’s sworn statement, accepted assessment roll corrections and certified error corrections under state law; the board set objection hearing dates and adjourned to June 18.","taxTitle","Kenosha, Kenosha County, Wisconsin","taxId",2854,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_46":80,"_48":81,"_50":82,"_52":83,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":84,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":85,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6542165,"Board postpones Lowe’s waiver, denies waiver requests for four Plaza 50 parcels",472,3153000,3625000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3681979-ed61492bd0d151a128d1588cd1d3306c&start=3153&end=3625","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3681979-ed61492bd0d151a128d1588cd1d3306c/thumbnail_3153000.jpg","/articles/6542165/Kenosha/Kenosha-County/Wisconsin/Board-postpones-Lowes-waiver-denies-waiver-requests-for-four-Plaza-50-parcels","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6542165-e725bd27bc45680c3de0715e67ade58c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771144411&Signature=b6norMvDFJMMyADB2O~KfPR9oKMEnZ6zo6b6FHBKABvXJm-GQkm5fTNkzDyQJfKr834BfKbjp~~5j8y3svyjuGTFj4ault8KoFfDTQ~UOQMch5~-NIlWCzo1W7LeDhUlphVlWe5nH5s5IzPcmOaUolzIsW44iG9y-U6Fy4dk1I-SeWR~82CFkaDACH82HKScX4hHmkEwF9FWVP269vYA26jSIdZgIMHcz3LrZldXXRWwFd2FPlaPRbCQnuCEYKzjvJqTN8XezyBv7v21~d7HdtoVoxVAVQVMfVKV99wdNEJHiiszvSlVswAwppqS9V37QWlYaZkyBGttd3OOfXT~ew__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Kenosha Board of Review on June 4 adjourned a waiver request from Lowe’s HomeCenters Inc. to June 26 and denied four separate waiver requests from Plaza 50 LLC tied to a multi-parcel sale.

A Lowe’s representative was present but board members and counsel discussed the appropriateness of deciding whether to waive the Board of Review hearing before the Board of Assessors completed its review. Attorney Luke Martel and board members recommended deferring the Lowe’s waiver request to allow the Board of Assessors time to make its determination. The board moved and voted to adjourn the Lowe’s waiver decision to June 26.

Separately, Plaza 50 LLC sought waivers for four parcels at a Kenosha shopping-center sale. City Assessor Kirk Redmond said the assessor’s office had already adjusted values during open-book review to reflect the sale allocation and recommended the board hear the matters rather than waive them. Martel and board members discussed fairness concerns when commercial property owners use waivers to proceed directly to circuit court, noting that waivers can give the property owner more time and the benefit of previewing the assessor’s case. Board members said the Plaza 50 parcels formed part of one $27,000,000 total sale and that the facts were essentially identical across the four parcels.

The board voted to deny each Plaza 50 waiver request (parcel numbers recorded in the meeting record). For each denial the chair recorded the motion as passed; recorded votes included both aye and nay responses on the record. The board indicated it would hold objection hearings on scheduled dates and treat each parcel individually on the record.

The board scheduled objection hearing dates and confirmed June 18, June 26 and July 16 as hearing dates for pending objections. The Lowe’s waiver was adjourned to June 26 to allow the assessors’ review to conclude before a final waiver decision.","The Kenosha Board of Review voted June 4 to adjourn a waiver request by Lowe’s HomeCenters Inc. to June 26 and denied waiver requests from Plaza 50 LLC for four parcels that sold as part of a single shopping-center transaction.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_46":92,"_48":93,"_50":94,"_52":95,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":96,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":97,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6542170,"Kenosha Board of Review adopts amended rules and procedures after attorney-led review",1621,541000,2162000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3681979-ed61492bd0d151a128d1588cd1d3306c&start=541&end=2162","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3681979-ed61492bd0d151a128d1588cd1d3306c/thumbnail_541000.jpg","/articles/6542170/Kenosha/Kenosha-County/Wisconsin/Kenosha-Board-of-Review-adopts-amended-rules-and-procedures-after-attorney-led-review","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6542170-77feffef1ec794859707b54c628dd05d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771144411&Signature=HD9f9H1dG4bpfaNa7Iyn8s58sBhA9kgrYdGioHsdFjAsmTVndlNSzOLv02nw90TpUrv~ghz7x~yoZEQT0cpwBwgSe-uHOq~4jPIbqirXEeB7ZxLZgXo2JtsL-r38oPEvNhVaGeDcm-p0nZCRz2JLoKMYblWrgLQMrrbX4zrkgXGNRhoe41qSg8mVWtxcrOqXhZhWcp40fhuw-QnHIY9lxH4SnK5tDb0vkEm7gWG88WKUpd-mIzA3dWwVIPXxlLEUPbAHwbPg33EDjPot7xkE9HgUZFwi55h13U6LQPQRXLr55e2yXAMkd8Xg7v4n8wrwLX4833f7-0GCqln9N3p~4Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Kenosha Board of Review members voted June 4 to adopt an amended Board and Review Rules and Procedures policy following a detailed review by the board’s attorney.

Attorney Luke Martel walked the board through revisions that he said primarily clarify and align local procedure with state law, rather than change substantive practice. Martel told the board the changes restate statutory timing for the annual 45-day review period and add language clarifying when assessment rules open for public examination.

Martel highlighted several substantive clarifications included in the amended policy. He said the draft: restates statutory notice and timing language for the 45-day review window; adds procedural language allowing the board to deny an evaluation hearing when a property owner has not complied with prerequisite steps; confirms that a property owner who refuses a reasonable written request by certified mail to allow an exterior view may be barred from testifying before the board (language Martel said follows current state law); tightens language on the burden of proof by noting that an objector’s mere criticism of the assessor’s work without independent valuation evidence is generally insufficient to overcome the assessor’s presumption of correctness; adds explicit authority for the board to issue subpoenas (and requires subpoena compliance or permits dismissal); and gives remaining members a process to limit participation by a member who refuses to recuse for a conflict of interest.

Martel also described procedural additions: rules for phone testimony and written statements, criteria for waivers and good-cause determinations, and a recommendation that the board use the Department of Revenue findings-of-fact worksheet to produce and hand a written determination to objectors at the close of each hearing when practicable.

After discussion, a board member moved to approve the amended rules and procedures policy; the board seconded the motion and voted in favor. The motion passed.

The change record and adopted language will guide how the board handles denials of access, waiver requests, subpoenas and the weight given to appraisal evidence at future objection hearings. Board members and staff said they will use the updated language during upcoming objection sessions scheduled later this month and into July.","The Kenosha Board of Review voted to adopt amended rules and procedures after Attorney Luke Martel reviewed changes that align board practice with state law and clarify hearing procedures, burdens of proof, subpoenas and handling of conflicts of interest.","actionData","errors"]
