Summary

The Waukesha Board of Review on July 11 upheld the assessor’s valuation for 1230 The Strand after hearing testimony and comparable sales evidence from the assessor and the property owner’s representative.

The Waukesha City Board of Review on July 11 sustained the assessor’s valuation for the commercial property at 1230 The Strand, owned by Higbee Development LLC.

Property representative Jessica Malanis presented photographs, sales comparisons and a requested market value of $160,000, arguing the assessor’s improvement value had jumped without renovation and that deferred maintenance justified a lower figure. The city assessor presented comparables and relied on assessment methods used in the city’s roll.

After closing testimony the board deliberated and, citing comparable sales and assessment methods consistent with the Wisconsin Property Assessment Manual, voted to uphold the assessor’s valuation. The roll-call vote was unanimous.

The board clerk provided information about the right to appeal the decision to circuit court and said notices would be mailed to the parties.

Action: assessor’s valuation sustained.
