2025 Board of Review Training

2025 Board of Review Certification Class

Wisconsin Law requires that in 2025, before the First Two-hour Meeting, at least one member of the BOR must attend a training session approved by the Wisconsin Department of Revenue-(DOR) within one year of the BOR’s first meeting, see Wis. Stats. §§ 70.46(4) and 73.03(55). However, DOR recommends training all BOR members by viewing a video and taking the exam.

 

The 2025 BOR Handbook has been updated and there is a new BOR Exam, which must be completed to complete your 2025 BOR Training.

 

We are offering many opportunities for the Clerk and your Board of Review members to attend and become certified.  The Department of Revenue has ruled that Zoom meetings do qualify as in-person training.
