Grota Appraisals has performed over 200 revaluations for communities in southeastern Wisconsin. We have the knowledge to help your community from planning an assessment project through adjournment of the Board of Review. This includes completion of all required functions in a timely cost effective and professional manner.

With our depth of knowledge, we can help minimize municipal costs for the assessment function:

• We can help create an assessment plan for the next 15-20 years
• We are able to provide Annual Assessment Planning
• We can recommend Revaluation methods when needed

There are four accepted methods of performing a revaluation. We have performed each type:

• Full Revaluation – onsite inspection of all primary structures including exterior measurement and interior view. Sales analysis, modeling and production of market value assessments. An individual property review using comparable properties is made to maintain Uniformity and Equity.
• Exterior Revaluation – (walk-around) – Exterior onsite inspection of all primary structures including measurement verification. Sales analysis, modeling and production of market value assessments. An individual property review is made using comparable properties is made to maintain Uniformity and Equity.
• Market Update – when existing property information is determined to be good, we can perform a sales analysis, modeling and production of market value assessments without the expense of visiting each property. We still perform an individual property review using comparable properties while maintaining Uniformity and Equity.
• Statistical Update – While similar to a market update, a statistical update requires no onsite visits and usually consists of areas that are shown to be changing at a rate different from the rest of the municipality. The same diligence takes place to perform a sales analysis, modeling and production of market value assessments while maintaining Uniformity and Equity.
