City Of Cudahy issued the following announcement on June 13.
Accurate Appraisal, The City of Cudahy’s Assessor, recently mailed a Notice of Changed Assessment to residents informing them that the assessment (value) of their property changed from the previous year. As a property owner, here is what you should know: The state legislature enacts all property tax and assessment laws. The property tax assessment laws are covered in Wisconsin Legislature: Chapter 70. Assessment and Its Purpose An assessment is the value an assessor places on your property. This value determines what portion of the local property tax levy is covered by your property. There are 5 taxing jurisdictions that make up the property tax levy. The budgets for those taxing jurisdictions are not determined until late fall, therefore the exact impact an assessment change will have on your property cannot be determined until the tax levy is calculated in early to mid-December. For 2022, the average residential property value in Cudahy increased by 13.58%, commercial increased by 14.47%. If your property value changed by less than the municipal average, your share of the property tax levy may decrease from the previous year. If your property value change is near the municipal average, your share of the property tax levy may remain similar to the previous year. If your property value changed by more than the municipal average, your share of the property tax levy may increase from the previous year.
