Title
Repealing Section 33.08(5)(b) and amending Section 33.08(5)(f)1. of the Madison General Ordinances to comply with recent Wisconsin State Statute amendments.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: This amendment repeals Sec. 33.08(5)(b) which refused a property owner a hearing before the board of review if the owner did not allow the assessor to view the interior of the property. 2017 WI Act 68 created Wis. Stat. § 70.05(4m) which provides that a property owner’s refusal to allow the assessor to enter the residence does not preclude the owner from appearing from the Board of Review. This amendment also adds language to Sec. 33.08(5)(f)(1) to require a property owner provide income and expense information to the assessor no later than 7 days before the first meeting of the board of review. This amendment is also to comply with 2017 WI Act 68 which amended Wis. Stat. § 70.47 (7)(af) which requires income and expense information to be supplied to the assessor 7 days prior to the first meeting of the board of review.
