The 2021 Preliminary Major Class Comparison Report (sec. 70.05 Assessment Compliance) is available on the Wisconsin Department of Revenue (DOR) website.

To receive a 2021 Preliminary Compliance calculation, a municipality needed to file these two reports by October 1, 2021:

• 2021 Statement of Assessment (SOA)
• Final 2021 Municipal Assessment Report (MAR)

Information

• The SOA must be error free to use for compliance measurement
• If the municipality did not file its 2021 information by October 1, the 2021 compliance is not displayed in this report and the preliminary compliance status appears as non-compliant
• If the 2021 compliance is not included in the preliminary report, DOR will review the late filed MAR and/or SOA in January, and will include the compliance on the Final Major Class Comparison Report
• If the Final Major Class Comparison indicates a municipality is in compliance, DOR will rescind any notices issued due to incomplete information

Note: DOR will send the rescind notices when we post the Final 2021 Major Class Comparison Report in February 2022.
