WI Court of Appeals – District IV
Case Name: Warren Slocum v. Wisconsin Department of Revenue
Case No.: 2015AP2473
Officials: Kloppenburg, P.J., Lundsten, and Blanchard, JJ.
Focus: Tax Assessment
Warren Slocum, pro se, appeals an order of the circuit court affirming, on certiorari review, a Wisconsin Department of Revenue decision denying a petition that he advanced under WIS. STAT. § 70.75(1)(a)1. (2013-14), requesting that the Department require the Town of Star Prairie to reassess properties for the year 2012. Slocum challenges the Department’s conclusion that the town’s 2012 property tax assessment is “in substantial compliance with the law,” which resulted in the Department’s decision to deny the petition for reassessment. The circuit court upheld the Department. We affirm the Department’s decision for the following reasons.
