Statement of Changes in Equalized Values
(Report 2)
Each year the Bureau of Property Tax, Equalization Section in the Division of State and Local Finance produces an analysis comparing the previous year's equalized values to the current year's equalized values. This report details changes for both real and personal property. The real property classifications detailed by both land and improvements are: residential; commercial; manufacturing; agricultural; undeveloped; agricultural forest; forest; and other. The personal property classifications are: watercraft; machinery, tools and patterns; furniture, fixtures & equipment; and all other personal property. NOTE: Computers and electronic peripheral equipment as defined in Chapter 70.11(39) were exempt from the personal property value since 1999.
The linked reports list the equalized value changes that occurred for the last nine years. These values go from January 2 through January 1 of the next year expressed both as dollar changes and rounded percent changes. The information is for all Wisconsin local governmental units, county and state.
"Amount of Economic Change" includes changes due to market conditions, based on analysis of sales. NOTE: According to the use value assessment law, as approved by the Farmland Advisory Council, the reported value of agricultural land included in the Equalized Value reflects the "use value" of the land not the current market value. For Equalized and Assessed Values, the Undeveloped and Agricultural Forest classes are valued at 50% of market value.
"Amount of New Construction" includes changes to improvement values due to construction of new buildings and other improvements to the land. The land value change in the new construction column is due to higher land utility.
"Amount of All Other Change" includes changes due to s. 70.57 adjustments (corrections), the Department's field review of property, demolition or destruction of buildings or other improvements, changes in exempt status of property, changes in classification of property, annexation gains or losses, and other miscellaneous changes.
