AB68-ASA2-AA6,37,4 70.03 (1) In chs. 70 to 76, 78, and 79, “real property," “real estate," and “land" include not only the land itself but all buildings and , fixtures, improvements thereon, and all fixtures and, leases, rights , and privileges appertaining thereto, including assets that cannot be taxed separately as real property, but are inextricably intertwined with the real property, enable the real property to achieve its highest and best use, and are transferable to future owners, except as provided in sub. (2) and except that for the purpose of time-share property, as defined in s. 707.02 (32), real property does not include recurrent exclusive use and occupancy on a periodic basis or other rights, including, but not limited to, membership rights, vacation services, and club memberships. In this subsection, “lease” means a right in real estate that is related primarily to the property and not to the labor, skill, or business acumen of the property owner or tenant. In this subsection, “highest and best use” has the meaning given in s. 70.32 (1).".

AB68-ASA2-AA6,37,6 “ Section 242d. 70.32 (1) of the statutes is amended to read:

AB68-ASA2-AA6,38,4 70.32 (1) Real property shall be valued by the assessor in the manner specified in the Wisconsin property assessment manual provided under s. 73.03 (2a) at its highest and best use from actual view or from the best information that the assessor can practicably obtain, at the full value which could ordinarily be obtained therefor at private sale. In determining the value, the assessor shall consider recent arm's-length sales of the property to be assessed if according to professionally acceptable appraisal practices those sales conform to recent arm's-length sales of reasonably comparable property; recent arm's-length sales of reasonably comparable property; and all factors that, according to professionally acceptable appraisal practices, affect the value of the property to be assessed. In this subsection, “arm's-length sale" means a sale between a willing buyer and willing seller, neither being under compulsion to buy or sell and each being familiar with the attributes of the property sold. In this subsection, “highest and best use" means the specific current use of the property or a higher use for which the property may be used as of the current assessment date, if the property is marketable for that use and the use is legally permissible, physically possible, not highly speculative, and financially feasible and provides the highest net return. When the current use of a property is the highest and best use of that property, value in the current use equals full market value. In this subsection, “legally permissible” does not include a conditional use that has not been granted as of the assessment date or any use that has not received as of the assessment date all federal, state, or local government approvals, permits, or licenses that are necessary for the use to occur.

AB68-ASA2-AA6,38,18 70.32 (1b) In determining the value of real property under sub. (1), the assessor may consider, as part of the valuation under sub. (1), any lease provisions and actual rent pertaining to a property and affecting its value, including the lease provisions and rent associated with a sale and leaseback of the property, if all such lease provisions and rent are the result of an arm's-length transaction involving persons who are not related, as provided under section 267 of the Internal Revenue Code for the year of the transaction. The assessor shall reconcile the results of such consideration with the professionally acceptable appraisal practices regarding reasonably comparable sales, the cost approach, and other methods specified in the Wisconsin property assessment manual provided under s. 73.03 (2a). In this subsection, an “arm's-length transaction" means an agreement between willing parties, neither being under compulsion to act and each being familiar with the attributes of the property.

AB68-ASA2-AA6,242f Section 242f. 70.32 (1d) of the statutes is created to read:

AB68-ASA2-AA6,38,22 70.32 (1d) (a) To determine the value of property using generally accepted appraisal methods, the assessor shall consider all of the following as comparable to the property being assessed:

AB68-ASA2-AA6,38,24 1. Sales or rentals of properties exhibiting the same or a similar highest and best use with placement in the same real estate market segment.

AB68-ASA2-AA6,39,5 2. Sales or rentals of properties that are similar to the property being assessed with regard to age, condition, use, type of construction, location, design, physical features, and economic characteristics, including similarities in occupancy and the the potential to generate rental income. For purposes of this subdivision, such properties may be found locally, regionally, or nationally.

AB68-ASA2-AA6,39,7 (b) For purposes of par. (a), a property is not comparable if any of the following applies:

AB68-ASA2-AA6,39,11 1. At or before the time of sale, the seller places any deed restriction on the property that changes the highest and best use of the property, or prohibits competition, so that it no longer qualifies as a comparable property under par. (a) 1. or 2. and the property being assessed lacks such a restriction.

AB68-ASA2-AA6,39,16 2. The property is dark property and the property being assessed is not dark property. In this subdivision, “dark property” means property that is vacant or unoccupied beyond the normal period for property in the same real estate market segment. For purposes of this subdivision, what is considered vacant or unoccupied beyond the normal period may vary depending on the property location.

AB68-ASA2-AA6,39,18 (c) For purposes of par. (a), “highest and best use" has the meaning given in s. 70.32 (1).

AB68-ASA2-AA6,39,24 (d) For purposes of par. (a), “real estate market segment” means a pool of potential buyers and sellers that typically buy or sell properties similar to the property being assessed, including potential buyers who are investors or owner-occupants. For purposes of this paragraph, and depending on the type of property being assessed, the pool of potential buyers and sellers may be found locally, regionally, nationally, or internationally.”.
