Owner Christopher L. Shaffer submitted a recent licensed appraisal and testified to deferred maintenance (foundation leaks, attic mold, flooding in the basement), lack of central air and an older oil heating system. The appraiser's report delivered a reconciliation of six comparables and concluded a market value of $355,000. The city assessor reviewed the appraisal during the hearing.

After discussion the board voted to accept the appraisal-based value. The board recorded the new assessment as land $46,600 and improvements $308,400 for a total of $355,000. Roll-call: Leonard Miller, Eric Dunstier and Christine D'Angelo voted in favor; board member Sarah Wilkie recused herself from this vote because she disclosed a professional connection to the appraiser and therefore abstained.

The board's order reduces the 2025 assessment for the parcel; Mr. Shaffer was advised of appeal rights to circuit court. The assessor's office will adjust the assessment records to reflect the board's decision and issue the written determination to the property owner.

Board reasoning: members said the licensed appraisal and owner testimony supplied the specific, contemporaneous market evidence and condition documentation required under Wis. Stat. 70.47 to overcome the assessor's presumption of correctness.

Next steps: the Assessor's Office will update the tax roll and send the decision notice with instructions about circuit court appeals if the owner elects to pursue them.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Waukesha, WI - Board of Review on 2025-06-17 9:00 AM - Jun 17, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Waukesha Board of Review reduced the assessed value of 1371 Harris Drive from the assessor's roll after the owner supplied a recent appraisal; the new total assessment is $355,000 (land $46,600; improvements $308,400).","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},6658412,"Waukesha Board of Review upholds assessor valuations in majority of contested cases",1267,1081000,2348000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5021427-f2c8b1b097d4414a7376f8538242f3ac&start=1081&end=2348","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5021427-f2c8b1b097d4414a7376f8538242f3ac/thumbnail_1081000.jpg","/articles/6658412/Waukesha-City/Waukesha-County/Wisconsin/Waukesha-Board-of-Review-upholds-assessor-valuations-in-majority-of-contested-cases","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6658412-a8b1d13f8fa9cd470d951cedacdec5d8/orig.mp4?Expires=1776034202&Signature=JlYE5ljE7DqQw463W-C8wT1hM7a6zXIfRGFr9vDWxs3vBnMry5ttzc5VLG4hyoD--M9okLAjI1eFB2~nh4Wk1urjqypFcFnbAo2iT3ustneNcE0WQCxJIsdCQt46tHW5omAUa~4cTF9HJf0VGGDMgA75W0XGs5GmAVxC9ZCIb3K8ugrAHguoZwZZ~34Dk0kI5QtCnPLJ-1Z9w6Zy4NwM3fvbx0IgOq9XKnm9hH6KFfzDafb5VxnnDMcfkIlFO2LgL3Pcmb55CET5CxgvcExnCYrjHc3DDJaG56JagSnWvdSZDwvCtMHAhd0cBhenkeisBBbp-2Ct~FGmGphO8qDx~g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Waukesha City Board of Review heard objections from multiple property owners at its June 17 session and, after testimony from owners and the city assessor, the board upheld the assessor's valuation in a series of contested cases.

Key outcomes (addresses and motions):
- 1909 Treeline Court (owner David Cerrone): board upheld the assessor's $660,000 valuation by roll-call vote (L. Miller, E. Dunstier, C. D'Angelo, S. Wilkie — ayes).
- 3611 Hawthorne Hill Drive (owner Amanda Doubleday): board upheld the assessor's $632,800 valuation; the board noted a pending sale was not representative for the January 1 valuation date and advised the assessor to follow up with the new owners for 2026 sales verification (unanimous roll-call ayes).
- 2911 Willard Lane (owners Bridal and Kelly Smith): board upheld the assessor's $510,500 valuation after examining square-footage and basement adjustments (unanimous roll-call ayes).
- 2411 Kayla Drive (Bruce and Billy Krantz): the board considered construction and age differences within the condominium development but upheld the assessor's valuation (unanimous roll-call ayes).
- 2718 Northview Road, Unit 8 (Steven Gitzlaff): board upheld the assessor's $183,900 valuation after reviewing comparable sales (unanimous roll-call ayes).
- 231 Maria Street (Neil Schaffer): board upheld the assessor's valuation after review of 2024 sales that the assessor presented (unanimous roll-call ayes).
- 87872 Harding Avenue / Amvet Properties (Andrew Borgstrom, on behalf of owner): board upheld the assessor's valuation; owner asked the assessor to perform a walkthrough for next year's review (unanimous roll-call ayes).
- 2412 Fox River Parkway, Unit I (Melissa Walker): board upheld the assessor's valuation for the unit after reviewing association sales and limited upgrade evidence (unanimous roll-call ayes).
- 2005 Berner Court (Paul Cook): board upheld the assessor's valuation (unanimous roll-call ayes).

In each upheld case the board concluded the property owners had not presented sufficient evidence to overcome the statutory presumption of correctness assigned to the assessor's valuation. Board members repeatedly encouraged owners who cited condition issues or deferred maintenance to request a property walkthrough by assessor staff for consideration in next year's valuation cycle.

Appeal rights: owners were informed they may appeal the board's decisions to circuit court.

The board recorded roll-call votes on each motion; the full docket and roll-call tallies are part of the official minutes.","At its June 17 meeting the Board of Review considered a long docket of homeowner objections and upheld the assessor's valuation in multiple cases after hearing owner and assessor testimony.

Board members approved the minutes from the board's June 6 meeting by voice vote. The board then addressed scheduling for additional hearing days: members agreed to hold additional sessions on July 11, July 22 and July 29 to continue an extended review docket.

On waivers, the board granted a request from Walmart Real Estate Business Trust to waive local review for tax years 2019'2024 and move the matter directly to the circuit court. The board also approved a group of waiver requests from SBV Fox River LLC covering multiple parcel/PC numbers on West Sunset Drive. The board's actions were procedural: the waivers move those contested assessments out of the board's hearing schedule and into court.

Clerk Sarah Roth, who joined the meeting after the waivers were taken up, confirmed she would follow up on scheduling logistics and on next steps for matters already waived into circuit court. The board noted a previously-filed request to testify by telephone in the Walmart matter is now moot because the board approved the waiver.

What matters next: the board's July hearing days are intended to finish an extended queue of assessment objections. Parties with waived cases will proceed in circuit court rather than before the Board of Review.

Votes and formal actions taken at the June 17 session are recorded in the Board's minutes and include the minutes approval, the scheduling decisions and the waivers described above.","At its June 17, 2025 meeting the Waukesha City Board of Review approved waiver requests that will move multiple tax assessment disputes directly to circuit court, approved minutes from the prior meeting and set three additional hearing dates in July.","actionData","errors"]
