REVALUATION INSPECTIONS TO START: Starting in May of 2008, representatives from Accurate
Appraisal will begin their field work/property inspections as part of the 2008
town revaluation. The representatives from Accurate will have a
name badge and company logos on their vehicles.
Inspections will occur from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through
Friday.
It will take approximately 10 minutes for
Accurate Appraisal to view your property.
The inspection of the interior of your house will consist of:
Ř Quality of
construction of the home
Ř Age of the home
Ř Count of the
number of bedrooms/bathrooms
Ř Type of heating,
A/C units
Ř Size of basement
and confirmation of any finished areas in the basement
Ř Total square feet
of living area
Ř Quality of
kitchens and baths
The inspection of the exterior of your house
will consist of:
Ř Measurements of
the outside of your house
Ř Age and
measurements of any detached outbuildings/garages/sheds
Ř Condition of roof,
siding and windows
If you are not at home upon the initial visit,
or if you are at home but would like Accurate Appraisal to come back at another
time, Accurate Appraisal will send you a letter requesting you to set up an
appointment to view the interior of your house at your convenience.
If you do not respond to the initial letter to
arrange for an appointment, Accurate Appraisal will send you a second letter
requesting an appointment to view the interior of your house via certified
mail. If, after receiving the second
letter, you do not respond to set up an appointment, Accurate Appraisal will
assess your property based upon what they can see from the outside of the
building.
It is important to note that per Wisconsin State Statutes, anyone who
refuses an inspection, also forfeits their right to appeal their assessment.
If you have any questions, you may contact Accurate
Appraisal at 1-800-770-3927 or send an e-mail at info@accurateassessor.com.
We thank you in advance for your cooperation
during this revaluation process.

BURNING POLICY IN THE TOWN OF ANGELICA:
Individuals/private citizens may burn lawn and garden debris and
small quantities of clean-untreated wood.
Clean paper waste that is not
recyclable may also be burned. Before burning, please obtain a copy of
the Town of Angelica’s policy on open burning. It is available on the town’s website or by
contacting the Town Clerk. In the case of large amounts to be burned,
notify the Pulaski Tri-County Fire Department Chief, Frank Wichlacz, at
920-822-5630 and the Shawano County Sheriff Department at 920-822-7905 (8:00
a.m. to 4:30 p.m. week days only) or
715-526-311 (non-emergency 24-hour phone number) to inform them of the planned burning. When planning any burning,
please keep in mind that the town has an ordinance whereby the property owner
or resident will be billed the actual cost incurred by the town for fire
protection and/or alarm responses up to a maximum amount of $500.00 per call or
response and that passer bys with cell phones could call the fire department
when they see smoke or fire. It is
important that the fire department and the Shawano County Sheriff Department be made aware of any planned
burning.
BUSINESSES: Please
note that businesses may not do any open burning without a wood
burning facility license that can be obtained from the DNR.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The first draft of the town’s Comprehensive Plan is being reviewed by the Town of Angelica Planning Commission. Hearings will be held regarding the plan in the near future. Look for a notice regarding this on the three town posting boards located at the town hall, Krakow Post Office and Zachow post office, on the town’s website and in the Pulaski News.
NEW
FLAG-STYLE 911 NUMBERS:
Current plans are that Lange Enterprises will be starting to
install the new flag-style numbers that are required under Shawano County
Ordinance No. 5-07 in the month of May.
That ordinance requires that a flag style plate displaying a property’s
fire number be mounted on a post perpendicular to the roadway and be visible
from both directions of travel on the roadway.
USE OF GARBAGE STICKERS: Please be reminded that garbage stickers are not to be placed on lids of garbage cans or directly on the garbage can. When using garbage cans, place a sticker on one of the garbage articles in the can that can be easily seen by the garbage pickup person.
DOG TAGS: It is important that dog license tags
be attached to your dog’s collar. We
have had a number of instances when the town’s Animal Control person has had to
pick up a lost dog and it had no
identification on it. If the dog tags or
another form of identification are on the dog it can more easily be returned to
its owner and in addition the dog tags confirm that the dog has had its
required rabies shots. The town’s animal
control person is Herbert Rusch who can be reached at 715- 758-8203. Also as a reminder, a listing of people who
have not obtained a dog license for their dog or dogs will be sent to the
Shawano County District Attorney. The deadline to
obtain a license before being placed on this list is April 1, 2007.
PAYMENT OF SECOND INSTALLMENT OF TAXES: Please note that the second installment of taxes due July 31, 2008 are not to be paid to the Town Treasurer but are to be paid to the Shawano County Treasurer, Kay Schroeder, Shawano County Court House, 911 Main Street, Shawano WI 54166.
