The Wisconsin Department of Revenue (DOR) would like to inform you that updated forms were posted to the DOR website:

  • Notice of Changed Assessment (PR-301)
  • Notice of Changed Assessment and Notice of Agricultural Land Conversion Charge (PR-402)

Details:

  • Act 114 amended state law (sec. 70.365, Wis. Stats.), and the Notice of Changed Assessment Form (PR-301)
  • The updated forms contain the exact wording from the statute that is effective January 1, 2021:
    "Under Wisconsin law, generally, the assessor may not change the assessment of property based solely on the recent arm's length sale of the property without adjusting the assessed value of comparable properties in the same market area. For information on the assessment of properties that have recently sold, visit the Internet site of the Department of Revenue at https://www.revenue.wi.gov/Pages/ERETR/data-home.aspx."

Note: If you are not using a state-prescribed version of this form, you must submit your form to DOR annually for approval. If you have questions, please contact us at bapdor@wisconsin.gov.
