Open Book Explanation & Sessions

What is Open Book?

Open Book is an opportunity for property owners to discuss their property values with the assessor and share any evidence to either update their property data or share a recent appraisal or comparable sales.

Every 3 years, Windsor conducts an Interim Market Update where value changes are made to bring the entire community back into compliance by reviewing and assessing all properties to market value (based on recent market sales).

Notices: Notices will be sent to property owners that have a change in value md-July. This could be due to a recent data change, a remodel, new construction, an interim market update, etc. Each notice shows the value change and explains in detail the owner’s rights when it comes to assessments.

Request for Assessment Review: Each notice explains that in order to contest their value an owner must fill out a Request for Assessment Review form. This information helps the assessor understand the owner's reasoning and evidence before the Open Book meeting.

Open Book Meeting: An Open Book meeting is about 15 minutes. Our assessors are trained to ask a series of questions and take notes on every interaction (PR-130 forms) and save any evidence the owner brings in. After the meeting an assessor will review the information and respond to the owner with a change or no change notice.

Each property is unique, leading to a grey area in mass assessment. The Open Book period enables assessors to consider new information and evidence, resulting in a more precise valuation.

Open Book sessions:

July 21, 2025, 11:00 am to 2:00 pm and 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm

July 22, 2025, 9:00 am to 12:00 pm and 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm

Open Book will be held at the new Municipal Building, 4430 Windsor Road, Windsor WI.
