Sam Monroe, Muskego’s contracted assessor, presented the city’s annual assessment report at the Board of Review meeting, saying the 2025 work used an interim market update and that the estimated level of assessment for the year is 100%. Monroe, who said he is a Wisconsin-certified assessor and the primary assessor for Muskego since 2023, told the board the city mailed notices of changed assessment on July 30, 2025 and filed the municipal assessment report with the state Department of Revenue on June 9, 2025.

Monroe summarized the assessment workload: staff reviewed 667 sales with 228 judged valid for ratio studies, inspected or drive-by reviewed roughly 370 field inspections that originated from 824 building permits, and logged about 3,112 residential parcels and several hundred commercial and agricultural parcels in the city’s assessment roll. He said new residential construction on permits produced roughly $58 million of value changes and a single commercial new-construction parcel was reflected at about $1.21 million in assessed value. Monroe also said open-book sessions reviewed several hundred parcels and that corrections and omissions were not numerous this year.

Monroe presented the city’s ratio and statistical indicators used for quality control: aggregate and mean ratios, medians, coefficient of dispersion and price-related differential for residential and commercial subsets were shown in the packet. He told the board that the assessment program used the municipality’s I.S. world (CAMA) system and Tyler Technologies support. Monroe said the assessor’s office will defend values at any hearings and that the board of review is scheduled to meet through September session dates to hear objections.

The Board of Review acknowledged receipt of the signed assessor’s affidavit and the assessment rolls and reserved substantive review of protested values to the individual hearings that followed.
