Assessment

OUR MISSION
The mission of the Assessment Department is to accurately and equitably value all real estate and personal property within the City of Neenah. It is our responsibility to ensure all parcels within the city are valued uniformly as market trends dictate.

2023 Revaluation Notice

The City of Neenah Assessor’s Office is conducting a revaluation of all properties in 2023. The last citywide revaluation was completed in 2019.

Why a Revaluation is needed

The assessed values in the City of Neenah are significantly lower than market values based on recent sales. The City’s current assessment to sale ratio is 86.8%. State law requires cities to assess real estate to +/- 10% of market value at least once in every 5-year period. When the ratio exceeds those margins, a revaluation is required.

An analysis of recent home sales has shown there are geographic inequities due to sale prices rising at different rates for different types of homes. Starter homes, rentals, and new construction homes have shown the largest increase in values while the higher-end homes have not seen as dramatic of an increase. It is important all properties are assessed consistently with the market in order to have uniform values, which results in ensuring everyone is paying their fair share of taxes — not too much or too little.

Revaluation Creates Equity

The purpose of a revaluation is to equitably distribute the tax burden among the taxable properties in the City to better reflect actual market values, not to increase property taxes. The revaluation does not change the total amount of property tax revenue collected by the City.
