BOARD OF REVIEW

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Board of Review for the Town of
Jacksonport of Door County shall hold its first meeting on Saturday,
June 7, 2008 from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Jacksonport Town
Hall.
	Please be advised of the following requirements to appear before the
Board of Review and procedural requirements if appearing before the
Board:
	No person shall be allowed to appear before the Board of Review, to
testify to the Board by telephone or to contest the amount of any
assessment of real or personal property if the person has refused a
reasonable written request by certified mail of the Assessor to view
such property.
	After the first meeting of the Board of Review and before the
Board’s final adjournment, no person who is scheduled to appear before
the Board of Review may contact, or provide information to, a member
of the Board about the person’s objection except at a session of the
Board.
	No person may appear before the Board of Review, testify to the
Board by telephone or contest the amount of assessment unless, at
least 48 hours before the first meeting of the Board or at least 48
hours before the objection is heard if the objection is allowed
because the person has been granted a waiver of the 48-hour notice of
an intent to file a written objection by appearing before the Board
during the first two hours of the meeting and showing good cause for
failure to meet the 48-hour notice requirement and files a written
objection, that the person provides to the Clerk of the Board of
Review notice as to whether the person will ask for removal of any
Board members and, if so, which member will be removed and the
person’s reasonable estimate of the length of time that the hearing
will take.
	When appearing before the Board, the person shall specify, in
writing, the person’s estimate of the value of the land and of the
improvements that are the subject of the person’s objection and
specify the information that the person used to arrive at that
estimate.
	No person may appear before the Board of Review, testify to the
Board by telephone or subject or object to a valuation; if that
valuation was made by the Assessor or the Objector using the income
method; unless the person supplies the Assessor all of the information
about income and expenses, as specified in the manual under Sec.
73.03(2a), that the Assessor requests. The Town of Jacksonport has an
ordinance for the confidentiality of information about income and
expenses that is provided to the Assessor under this paragraph which
provides exemptions for persons using information in the discharge of
duties imposed by law or of the duties of their office or by order of
a court. The information that is provided under this paragraph, unless
a court determined that it is inaccurate, is not subject to the right
of inspection and copying under Section 19.35(1) of Wis. Statues.
	The Board shall hear upon oath, by telephone, all ill or disabled
persons who present to the Board a letter from a physician, surgeon or
osteopath that confirms their illness or disability. No other persons
may testify by telephone.

Respectfully submitted,
Town of Jacksonport, Eileen L. Phetteplace, Clerk
