About Accurate

In January 2017, the City of Manitowoc contracted with Accurate Appraisal, LLC, to provide professional assessment services for our residents and property owners.  

Accurate Appraisal, LLC, is presently contracted for services that maintain existing property records. They inspect and assess all new construction. Permitted improvements are inspected upon completion, with the assessments adjusted appropriately.  All sales are analyzed and visited to ensure the records of the property are correct. Sale property assessments may be adjusted to reflect current condition. Property owners are notified prior to physical inspections being conducted and also when changes are made to their assessed value.

Accurate Appraisal representatives will be present at City Hall each Tuesday of the month from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM for meetings with the general public, and to assist with any public records requests. Accurate Appraisal representatives will be also available Monday – Friday for assistance and to answer any questions about assessments by telephone and email.
