If you live in Kewaunee and get a letter in the mail from Accurate Appraisal LLC, do not throw it away. The city gave notice to its residents online on Thursday that appraisal letters are being sent out as property assessments. As you may remember from when Sturgeon Bay announced its own revaluation process with Associated Appraisal Consultants in mid-July, state statute requires municipalities to do the assessments every five years. The letter states that it could benefit the homeowner “to provide viewing access to their residence” to ensure a complete and accurate valuation, though you also have the right to deny an assessor access to your home. In those cases, assessors will base their valuation on the next best information available. City officials note that an increased assessment does not necessarily mean an increase to your taxes, and the exact impact will not be known until late fall when they receive numbers from the Kewaunee School District, Kewaunee County, and the State of Wisconsin. The city will host open book reviews from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. on August 18th and 8 a.m. until noon on August 19th before the Board of Review meeting takes place on September 24th.
