What is the process in Janesville used to value properties?
Each year the Assessor must prepare an Assessment Roll. The major events in each annual assessment cycle are as follows: • Data collection via home visits and sale information • Data entry into the computer database • Testing and verification of data entry • Estimating property values and listing those in the Assessment Roll • Open book sessions to allow citizen review of values and presentation of additional information to Assessor’s Office if they believe estimates are inaccurate. • Board of review sessions to allow citizens to present appeal to an impartial board if they still believe estimates are inaccurate.
