WCAD provides property value offer for the current year
WCAD has received a higher-than-typical number of express inquiries, and it is taking longer than usual for us to review the submissions and reply to applicants. We apologize for any delay, but rest assured that WCAD will reply as quickly as possible and that we will work on these inquiries in the order they are received.
As of April 27, 2022, WCAD will consider all future express submissions as market protests but will continue to send responses through the Express Inquiry process. Rejection or non-response to our email offer will result in a scheduled hearing with a letter informing you of the date and time of that hearing. By doing this, WCAD will ensure that no one loses their opportunity to have a value correction when warranted, or if their Express Inquiry has not been resolved prior to the May 16th appeal deadline.
We appreciate your patience as we work through this unprecedented Express Inquiry volume.
