Real Property Tax Assessment Reversed by Court of Appeals

OCHD’s Real Estate and Construction Practice Group found recent success in obtaining a reversal from the Court of Appeals relative to a real property tax assessed by the Village of Menomonee Falls against an 80-plus unit apartment complex owned by a client.

In an opinion released on May 2, 2007, the Court of Appeals District II reversed the decision of the Circuit Court for Waukesha County holding, among other things, that the Board of Review for the Village of Menomonee Falls failed to exercise proper judgment and failed to accept evidence of valuation submitted by the property owner as the “best information” available. See Opinion of Court of Appeals.
