WI Supreme Court

Case Name: Vincent Milewski, et al., v. Town of Dover, et al.

Case No.: 2017 WI 79

Focus: Constitutionality – Assessor’s Inspection

Vincent Milewski and Morganne MacDonald (collectively, the “Milewskis”) own a home in the Town of Dover. They want to challenge a tax assessor’s recent revaluation of their property. But they also want to prevent the tax assessor from inspecting the interior of their home as a part of that process. The Town says our statutes require them to pick one or the other because they cannot do both. The Milewskis ask us whether the Town can put them to this choice.

Reversed and remanded

Concur: Roggensack, C.J., Ziegler, J., Gableman, J.

Dissent: Abrahamson, J., A.W. Bradley, J.
