As required by state law, the Village of Grantsburg will be undergoing a municipal -wide exterior revaluation of all taxable property under Wisconsin Statutes 70.05.  The last time Grantsburg performed a revaluation was 21 years ago in 2003. To ensure that an accurate revaluation is performed, it will be necessary for the assessment staff to conduct an on-site exterior review of all homes and commercial buildings within the village limits. Assessment staff will begin inspections this fall and conclude them in mid to late summer of 2025. Each assessor will carry a letter of identification from the village and a name badge identifying them; their vehicle will also have an identifying tag.  If you have concerns about the person at your door, please call the Village Office at (715) 463-2405
Bowmar Appraisal, Inc., a private assessment firm from Eau Claire, WI, has been retained by the Village of Grantsburg to complete the revaluation for the 2025 tax year. The revaluation will establish new assessed values in an equitable fashion for all properties in the village at 100% of market value. The new assessments will be completed in the fall of 2025 and all property owners will receive a written notice of assessment at that time. You will then have an opportunity to discuss the assessed values with Bowmar Appraisal staff members at the Open Book session. After the Open Book session, the Board of Review will conduct hearings to evaluate evidence concerning any final challenges to the assessed values. Our goal is to conduct an accurate and transparent revaluation.  We greatly appreciate your cooperation in the revaluation process and ask that you direct any questions you may have concerning the revaluation to Bowmar Appraisal, Inc. at (715) 835-1141 Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 pm.
