property owner authorizes additional visits. The following are requirements under
state law:

state or a political subdivision
• Date – entry must be on a weekday during daylight hours, or at another time as
agreed upon with the property owner
• Duration – assessor’s visit must not be more than one hour
• Scope – assessor must not open doors, enter through open doors, or windows,
without owners permission
• Notice – if the property owner or occupant is not present, the assessor must
leave a notice on the principal building providing the owner information on how
to contact them.
The ability to enter land is subject to several qualifications and limitations, as
described within the foregoing statutes. Copies of the applicable statutes can be
obtained at public websites throughout the State of Wisconsin, and from the
Wisconsin State Legislature website or a copy may be obtained from the
municipal clerk upon payment of applicable copying charges.
