Claim by McCarthy Investments, LLC regarding the 2025 property assessment at 7708 W. National Ave. (Parcel No. 452-0136-000).

McCarthy Investments, LLC has filed a Notice of Claim for Excessive Assessment against the City of West Allis, seeking a refund of $10,793.00 plus interest. The claim pertains to the 2025 property assessment for the property located at 7708 W. National Ave. (Parcel No. 452-0136-000).

The claimant asserts that the city's assessed value of $1,387,400 is excessive. According to a Broker Opinion of Value from Smart Asset Realty, the actual fair market value of the property as of January 1, 2025, was estimated to be no higher than $900,000. This difference in valuation is the basis for the claimed overtaxation.

The claimant states they appealed the assessment to the Board of Review, which determined that the 2025 assessments would not change. McCarthy Investments, LLC has paid the tax due and complied with procedures for objecting to assessments, as required by Wisconsin Statute § 70.47. They are now pursuing a refund under Wis. Stat. § 74.37.
