No person may appear before the Board of Review, testify to the Board by telephone or contest the amount of assessment unless at least 48 hours before the first meeting of the Board or at least 48 hours before the objection is heard of the objection is allowed because the person has been granted a waiver of the 48 hour notice of an intent to file a written objection by appearing before the Board during the first two hours of the meeting and showing good cause for failure to meet the 48 hour notice requirement and files a written objection, that the person provides to the Clerk of the Board of Review notice as to whether the person will ask for removal of any Board member and, if so, which member will be removed and the person’s reasonable estimate of length of time that the hearing will take. 

When appearing before the Board, the person shall specify, in writing, the person’s estimate of the value of the land and of the improvements that are the subject of the person’s objection and specify the information that the person used to arrive at the estimate. 

No person may appear before the Board of Review, testify to the Board by telephone or subject or object to a valuation; if that valuation was made by the Assessor the Objector using the income method; unless the person supplies the Assessor all of the information about income and expenses, as specific in the manual under Sec.73.02(2a) that the Assessor requests. The Town of Black Earth has an ordinance for the confidentiality of information about income and expenses that is provided to the Assessor under this paragraph, unless a court determined that it is inaccurate, is not subject to the right of inspection and copying under Sec 19.35(2) of Wis Statutes. 

The Board shall hear upon oath, by telephone, all ill or disabled persons who present to the Board a letter from a physician, or surgeon, or osteopath that confirms their illness or disability. No other persons may testify be telephone.
