WI Court of Appeals – District I
Case Name: State of Wisconsin ex rel. Ronald L. Collison v. City of Milwaukee Board of Review
Case No.: 2018AP669
Officials: Brash, P.J., Kessler and Brennan, JJ.
Focus: Property Assessment
Ronald L. Collison, pro se, appeals the circuit court’s order affirming the Board of Review’s decision. The Board upheld the City of Milwaukee’s $31,800 tax valuation of his property for 2016. This appeal is nearly identical in law and fact to Collison’s prior appeal of his 2012 property tax assessment. See State ex rel. Collison v. City of Milwaukee, No. 2013AP2130, unpublished slip op. (WI App Sept. 9, 2014). Collison argues that the assessment of his property was improper because his property’s fair market value is zero dollars. He also argues that both the City of Milwaukee Environmental Contamination Standards (CMECS) and the Wisconsin Property Assessment Manual conflict with WIS. STAT. § 70.32 (2017-18). We affirm.
