You are not required to meet with the Assessor before appealing to the Board of Review, although it is highly recommended. Minor errors and misunderstandings can often be corrected by meeting with the Assessor without initiating a formal appeal. In this current environment to promote safety, the Assessor's Office will conduct any meetings via teleconference, with any documents that we would typically share being forwarded to you for these meetings, or they may be held in person at City Hall. Any information that you would like us to consider, we ask that it be forwarded to the Assessor's Office via email, regular mail, or dropping it off at City Hall, in the drop box.

The City Clerk will give you a notice of the Board's decision at the conclusion of your hearing. If you do not agree with the Board's determination, the notice will contain information on how you may appeal the Board's decision.

The Board of Review is a quasi-judicial (court-like) body whose members are City of Oak Creek residents. Its function is to decide the validity of the facts presented before it relative to the value of a property. You or your representative must provide testimony to the Board as to your objection to your assessment and prove that your property is inequitably assessed when compared to the general level of assessment within the taxation district.
