Box 1130 Oshkosh, Wisconsin 54902-1130 � � O1HKO.IH TO: FROM: DATE: RE: City of Oshkosh Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council Lynn A. Lorenson, City Attorney October 22, 2015 Rescind Real Property Taxes BACKGROUND The Division of Assessment Practices discovered a detached garage, listed in our property assessment records, had been removed from parcel 14-1507-00-00, 0 Stoney Beach St. The garage had been listed to be removed with a house on a separate parcel to the east. Unfortunately, this parcel and address were not listed on the permit, which caused an assessment to be made on real property improvements that no longer existed on the date of assessment. ANALYSIS This error can be corrected by using the procedure outlined in Wisc. Stats. 74.33(1)(b) which allows for the governing body to refund or rescind taxes for assessments made on property that did not exist on the date of the assessment. FISCAL IMPACT This adjustment will result in a tax refund of $52.16. RECOMMENDATION Based on the fact that the property assessed did not exist on the date the assessment was made, staff recommends refunding the 2014 taxes using the adjusted 2014 assessment, in the amount of $52.16.
