Grota Appraisals can help you plan for upcoming revaluations by determining what type of revaluation needs to be completed for your municipality, when it needs to be completed by and how much to budget for the work.

Grota Appraisals has performed over 100 revaluations for communities in southeastern Wisconsin. We have the knowledge to help your community from planning through the adjournment of Board of Review to complete these difficult but necessary projects in a cost effective, professional manner.

There are three accepted types of revaluations:

Full Revaluation - interior and exterior onsite inspection of primary structures – production of market value assessments while maintaining uniformity and equity.

Exterior Revaluation (walk around) – exterior onsite production of market value assessments while maintaining uniformity and equity.

Market Update – production of market value assessments without significant onsite inspection of property while maintaining uniformity and equity.
