At least once in a 6 year period every municipality in the State of Wisconsin must be assessed within 10% of the Dept of Revenues equalized value.  Equalized values are created by knowledgeable buyers and sellers in the marketplace.  To achieve this, the assessed value can be as low as 90% and high as 110%.  In a given year, assessed values change only if you build, remodel or remove buildings.   At this point and time, if you have not made building improvements on your property, your current assessed value is the same as it was in 2002 at the last revaluation.  What we will do in 2008 is to increase the assessed values to a current 2008 fair market value.  We will achieve the new values by looking at sales of all properties in Kildare from the years 2005 to 2007.  Most tax payers will see an increase in their assessed value for the 2008 assessment year.  With the assessed value being increased, the mill or tax rate will decrease.  The reason we see out of pocket increases each year is due to the fact that the mill rate increases on a yearly basis and the assessed value remains the same.  Wisconsin statistics show that the two most rapidly increasing types of land are Water and Woods, therefore these two will see the largest increases.  The revaluation will be complete in the fall of 2008.  At that point and time, each tax payer will receive a notice from our office stating the former 2007 assessed value, the current 2008 assessed value and the amount of increase from 2007 to 2008.  Please be advised the assessed values began to increase from 2002, they did just not increase from 2007 to 2008.   If you should have any questions or comments regarding the revaluation, please feel free to contact me at any time. Sincerely, Patrick Hart Assessor Town of Kildare (608) 372-2964
