Lawrence Pieczynski appeals a judgment upholding his 1998 property tax assessment. The trial court initially granted Pieczynski’s request for reassessment, resulting in a $7,400 reduction. Pieczynski now challenges the second assessment, arguing that: (1) the board of review failed to comply with statutory requirements when it rejected his challenge to the second assessment; (2) the assessor impermissibly subdivided Pieczynski’s lakefront property and did not appropriately account for “depth factors” when he calculated the value based on front footage; and (3) the assessor’s failure to adjust the assessments of the comparable parcels resulted in Pieczynski paying a disproportionate share of the town’s taxes, a violation of the uniformity clause, Wis. Const. art. VIII, sec. 1.
We reject these arguments and affirm the judgment.
