estimate of the length of time that the hearing will take.
When appearing before the Board of Review, 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

estimate.
No person may appear before the Board of Review, testify to the Board
or by telephone or object to a valuation; if that valuation was made

income and expense, as specified in the Assessor’s manual under Sec.
73.03(2a) of Wis. Statutes, that the Assessor requests.  The Town of
Highland has an ordinance for the confidentiality of information about
income and expenses that is provided to the Assessor under this

The Board shall hear upon oath, by telephone, all ill or disabled
