Contact Wayne Meyer at 487-5203 during office hours. The City of Algoma contracts for Assessment Services. The City Assessor, Greg Weisheipl, values all real estate, mobile homes, and business personal property. The Wisconsin Department of Revenue values all manufacturing property. These values determine the property and personal property taxes you pay.
Most people believe that they pay too much money for taxes.
There are a few legal recourses to this dilemma. However, if you believe that your assessment is too high, you can take your request for lowering your assessment to the Board of Review. This Board meets once a year in May, but typically will adjourn until the assessor has completed his work. At that time, if you are able to provide evidence to the contrary, your assessment will most likely be lowered and you will pay taxes on a lower value of your property that year. The best way to find out whether your assessment might be to high or to low would be to look at your last tax bill and find the number in the box labeled Fair Market Value.
