Ashwaubenon board disallows Bellin Memorial Hospital tax-exemption claim
Summary
The Village Board adopted Resolution R4-1205 (as stated) to deny a tax-exemption claim filed by Bellin Memorial Hospital for its 933 Wabi Lane property, after village staff, the assessor and the village’s insurance representative concluded the hospital’s exemption claim was not supported by the statute referenced in the notice of claim.
The Ashwaubenon Village Board on April 15 adopted a resolution denying a tax-exemption claim filed by Bellin Memorial Hospital, Inc. concerning property at 933 Wabi Lane for tax year 2024.
Tony, a village staff member who introduced the matter, said Bellin filed a notice of claim in January asserting the property should be exempt because it is a hospital. Village staff, the municipal assessor and representatives from the village’s insurance company reviewed the claim and concluded they disagreed with Bellin’s interpretation of the applicable statute; the resolution formally disallows the claim and staff will notify Bellin as required by law.
A trustee moved and seconded the adoption of Resolution R4-1205 (as stated in the meeting). The board approved the resolution by voice vote.
Why it matters: The resolution maintains the village’s position that the property is taxable for 2024; staff relied on internal review and insurer input to recommend denial. The transcript records that staff and the assessor concluded the hospital’s claim did not meet the statutory exemption standard, but the discussion did not identify the specific statutory citation in the meeting record.
No further hearing or additional details were provided at the meeting about Bellin’s grounds beyond the notice of claim; the board’s action was the formal denial of that specific claim.
