State Ex Rel. East Briar, Inc. v. Board of Review

The Board of Review of the Town of Rome appeals from an order remanding this case to the board to reconsider the 1981 tax assessments on real property owned by East Briar, Inc. The issues are whether the assessor followed statutory requirements in assessing East Briar’s dam, artificial lake and golf course, and whether she considered the time and expense necessary to sell lots in a subdivision. We conclude that the assessor erred in both respects and therefore affirm the trial court’s order.

East Briar, Inc., owns a real estate development called “Lake Arrowhead”, located near Wisconsin Dells.…
