Senate Bill 596 mandates that cities, villages, or towns must provide written notice to property owners at least seven days prior to a tax assessor entering their property for a tax assessment. This requirement aims to ensure that property owners are informed and can prepare for the assessment process.

The bill introduces a new section, 70.05 (4j), to the statutes, which specifies that the taxation district is responsible for delivering this notice to property owners. This legislative change is intended to enhance transparency and communication between local governments and property owners regarding property tax assessments.
