24for the conveyance; nor shall it apply to land devised to the state or for its benefit
25while another person is permitted by the will to occupy the land or part thereof. This

3undergoing rehabilitation or liquidation under ch. 645. Property exempt under this

AB56,829 7Section 829. 70.32 (1) of the statutes is amended to read:
AB56,599,28 70.32 (1) Real property shall be valued by the assessor in the manner specified
9in the Wisconsin property assessment manual provided under s. 73.03 (2a) at its
10highest and best use
from actual view or from the best information that the assessor
11can practicably obtain, at the full value which could ordinarily be obtained therefor
12at private sale. In determining the value, the assessor shall consider recent
13arm's-length sales of the property to be assessed if according to professionally
14acceptable appraisal practices those sales conform to recent arm's-length sales of
15reasonably comparable property; recent arm's-length sales of reasonably
16comparable property; and all factors that, according to professionally acceptable
17appraisal practices, affect the value of the property to be assessed. In this subsection,
18“arm's-length sale" means a sale between a willing buyer and willing seller, neither
19being under compulsion to buy or sell and each being familiar with the attributes of
20the property sold. In this subsection, “highest and best use" means the specific use
21of the property as of the current assessment date or a higher use to which the
22property can be expected to be put before the next assessment date, if the use is
23legally permissible, physically possible, not highly speculative, and financially
24feasible and provides the highest net return. When the current use of a property is
25the highest and best use of that property, value in the current use equals full market

1value. In this subsection, “legally permissible” does not include a conditional use
2that has not been granted as of the assessment date.
AB56,830 3Section 830 . 70.32 (1b) of the statutes is created to read:
AB56,599,124 70.32 (1b) In determining the value of real property under sub. (1), the assessor
5shall consider, as part of the valuation under sub. (1), any lease provisions and actual
6rent pertaining to a property and affecting its value, including the lease provisions
7and rent associated with a sale and leaseback of the property, if all such lease
8provisions and rent are the result of an arm's-length transaction involving persons
9who are not related, as provided under section 267 of the Internal Revenue Code for
10the year of the transaction. In this subsection, an “arm's-length transaction" means
11an agreement between willing parties, neither being under compulsion to act and
12each being familiar with the attributes of the property.
AB56,831 13Section 831 . 70.32 (1d) of the statutes is created to read:
AB56,599,1614 70.32 (1d) (a) To determine the value of property using generally accepted
15appraisal methods, the assessor shall consider all of the following as comparable to
16the property being assessed:
AB56,599,1917 1. Sales or rentals of properties exhibiting the same or a similar highest and
18best use, as defined in sub. (1), with placement in the same real estate market
19segment.
AB56,599,2420 2. Sales or rentals of properties that are similar to the property being assessed
21with regard to age, condition, use, type of construction, location, design, physical
22features, and economic characteristics, including similarities in occupancy and the
23potential to generate rental income. For purposes of this subdivision, such
24properties may be found locally, regionally, or nationally.
AB56,600,2
1(b) For purposes of par. (a), a property is not comparable if any of the following
2applies:
AB56,600,63 1. At or before the time of sale, the seller places any deed restriction on the
4property that changes the highest and best use, as defined in sub. (1), of the property,
5or prohibits competition, so that it no longer qualifies as a comparable property
6under par. (a) 1. or 2. and the property being assessed lacks such a restriction.
AB56,600,117 2. The property is dark property and the property being assessed is not dark
8property. In this subdivision, “dark property” means property that is vacant or
9unoccupied beyond the normal period for property in the same real estate market
10segment. For purposes of this subdivision, what is considered vacant or unoccupied
11beyond the normal period may vary depending on the property location.
AB56,600,1712 (c) For purposes of par. (a), “real estate market segment” means a pool of
13potential buyers and sellers that typically buy or sell properties similar to the
14property being assessed, including potential buyers who are investors or
15owner-occupants. For purposes of this paragraph, and depending on the type of
16property being assessed, the pool of potential buyers and sellers may be found locally,
17regionally, nationally, or internationally.
