Revaluation
2008 is a property tax revaluation year.
Associated Appraisal has been
hired by the Town of Westport as the Town Assessor. New assessments
have been mailed to property owners. If you have not yet received
your new assessment, please contact

Appraisal at 1-800-721-4157.

Open Book
If you feel your assessment is inequitable, the first step is to discuss it with
the assessor. This is the purpose of Open Book. The dates of Open Book for 2008
were November 5, 2008 and November 6, 2008. If you missed these dates, you may still call the
assessor at 1-800-721-4157 to discuss your assessment. You may also use
the resources below to view assessments of other
Westport properties.

Board of Review
If you have already discussed your assessment with the assessor and still
wish to contest your assessment, you will need to file a written or oral intent
to object with Bob Anderson, at
608-849-4372 ext. 214, at least 48 hours before the opening of the Board of
Review. In addition, you must complete the
approved objection
form and file the original with the Town prior to or within the first two
hours of the Board's first scheduled meeting. Board of Review for 2008
was
scheduled for Monday, November 24, 2008. You will be notified of
your Board of Review hearing time after filing your completed objection form.
We cannot schedule a hearing time prior to receiving the completed objection
form.
Boards of Review operate like court proceedings. Their
function is not one of valuation, but of deciding the validity of the facts
presented orally before them. You or your representative may testify
concerning your assessment objection. You must prove that your property is
incorrectly assessed relative to its market value within your tax district.
If you desire to appeal your assessment in any year, your appearance at that
year's Board of Review is extremely important. Most subsequent avenues of
appeal require that you first attend the Board of Review. The
Town Board members are the members that sit on the
Board of Review.
