Assessor

The Village of Fox Crossing has a contract for assessor services with Accurate Appraisal, LLC.  The assessor is responsible for uniform values of all real estate and personal property located within the Village of Fox Crossing for property tax purposes.  It is the assessor’s responsibility to ensure fair and equitable assessments based on fair market value; which property tax burden is then distributed fairly among all property owners.  A change in assessed value does not automatically mean a change in property taxes.

The Assessor does not set the tax rate, nor raise or collect taxes to cover municipal budgets. The Assessor conducts the valuation process while operating in accordance with Chapter 5 of the Wisconsin Property Assessment Manual and the assessment procedure governed by Chapter 70 of the Wisconsin Statutes. Laws are very specific as to how the work is carried out.  The Assessor must be within 10% of market value as defined by Statute, at least once in every 5-year period.

PROPERTY ASSESSMENTS
When assessments are completed, property assessment change notices will be mailed by the assessor, if your assessed value has changed.  You are encouraged to attend Open Book, a time to discuss your property assessment with the assessor, or speak with the assessor prior to scheduling an appearance before the Board of Review.  If you wish to speak with an assessor, please call Accurate Appraisal at (920) 749-8098.
