Wisconsin & Milwaukee Hotel, LLC (WMH) appeals an order of the circuit court, following a court trial, upholding the City of Milwaukee’s 2014 and 2015 property tax assessments of the Milwaukee Marriott Hotel Downtown (the Hotel) located in downtown Milwaukee. WMH contends that the City Assessor’s method of determining the Hotel’s fair market value violated both the Wisconsin Property Assessment Manual and the Uniformity Clause of the Wisconsin Constitution.
