Sections:
3.40.010 Confidentiality of information about income and expenses requested by the Assessor in property assessment matters.
1. Applicability. Whenever the Assessor, in the performance of the Assessor’s duties, requests or obtains income and expense information pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 70.47(7)(af), or any successor statute thereto, then, such income and expense information that is provided to the Assessor shall be held by the Assessor on a confidential basis, except, however, that the information may be revealed to and used by persons: in the discharging of duties imposed by law; in the discharge of duties imposed by office (including, but not limited to, use by the Assessor in performance of official duties of the Assessor’s office and use by the Board of Review in performance of its official duties); or pursuant to order of a court. Income and expense information provided to the Assessor under Wis. Stat. § 70.47(7)(af), unless a court determines that it is inaccurate, is, per Wis. Stat. § 70.47(7)(af), not subject to the right of inspection and copying under Wis. Stat. § 19.35(1).
2. Severability. If any section or portion thereof shall be declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, such decision shall apply only to the specific section or portions thereof of this chapter. The remainder of this chapter shall remain in full force and effect. Any other ordinances whose terms are in conflict with the provisions of this chapter are hereby repealed as to those terms that conflict. (2008 code § 2.11)
