State Receiving Calls of Troubling Lake Delton Property Assessments

The Village of Lake Delton has employed Associated Appraisal Consultants Inc to re-evaluate all taxable property.  The aggressive practice elevated a vacant lot with no structural improvements from 50 thousand dollars in 2016 to a 2017 value of 180 thousand dollars.

The 300 percent increases leave property owners questioning the validity of the process.  The property owners receive a letter in the mail - that some may view as a scam and toss in the trash.  Unfortunately this seems to be driven by the Village of Lake Delton in the County of Sauk.

The State of Wisconsin has received numerous complaints - which have been directed back to the Village Municipal Hall.  The calculation seems to invent 10 years of positive growth - which delivers a tax bill at a level that many property owners will not be equipped to pay.

This is expected to get worse before it gets better and the hope is that the citizens of Wisconsin Dells will not be exposed to this same injustice.
