Village Assessor

The Village of Twin Lakes contracts with Associated Appraisal Consultants, Inc. for assessment services.

The Village of Twin Lakes last performed a market revaluation in 2021. The next market revaluation is scheduled for the summer of 2024.

The state of Wisconsin is a Market Value state. This means property values are required to mirror the fair market value of comparable properties to ensure property owners are paying their fair share of taxes.

The fair market value of all property is calculated by reviewing arm’s length sales between a willing seller and a willing buyer on the open market. Assessors consider information from many sources to determine your assessment.

Assessors review market sales every January 1.  Sales after the new year will not be used to determine value.  The property tax bill you receive in December is based on the assessment value of your property as of the previous January 1.

Assessors don’t set tax rates. There are no additional taxes collected by the village during a revaluation. The revaluation does not change the amount of tax collected by the village, county, school district or technical college.

Open Book by Phone – Thursday, September 12, 2024 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm and Monday, September 16, 2024 from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm

Once the 2024 preliminary assessment roll is complete, it will be located on Associated Appraisals website listed under Assessments

2023 Completed Real Estate Assessment Roll

Open book is a conference with the assessor to discuss the value of your property. You have until 48 hours before Board of Review to contact the assessor about your new value.

Board of Review – Thursday, October 3, 2024 from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm 

Board of Review is held in the Twin Lakes Village Hall Board Room, 105 E. Main Street, Twin Lakes.

Board of Review functions like court and is required to evaluate evidence based on facts. You or your representative must provide factual evidence that your property is inequitably assessed. The burden of proof is solely on the taxpayer. The assessor’s value is presumed correct by State Law until proven otherwise.
