RE: Rescind or Refund Real Estate and Personal Property Taxes
BACKGROUND
Per Wisconsin State Statutes, the removal of Property Taxes needs to be authorized by the Common
Council. Statutes enumerate six specific conditions under which a rescission is appropriate / necessary.
These properties were incorrectly assessed for the tax year 2021. Therefore, the taxes that were
incorrectly charged need to be rescinded. The Assessor’s staff verified this rescission is accurate and
necessary.
ANALYSIS
Below are the details and reason this is being presented for rescission. In addition, the specific
condition as outlined by State Statutes is included:
State Statute 74.33 (c) – The property is exempt by law from taxation.
Personal Property – 201924000 / Hmong Service Center / 726 N Main St / - $88.95
State Statute 74.33 (d) – The property is not located in the taxation district for which the tax roll was
prepared.
Personal Property – 201477000 / Run Away Impressions/ 1437 S Washburn St / - $539.22
FISCAL IMPACT
The impact of the above rescission is short term only, since in the years that the taxes are rescinded, the
City notifies the Department of Revenue (DOR) of the rescissions and the DOR adjusts the equalized
value for the following year to account for the difference. These adjustments are built into the tax rate
for all taxing authorities for the following year.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council authorize this resolution to rescind the above noted taxes as outlined.
Respectfully Submitted, Approved:
