2025 Shoreline Assessment

R, and Sauk County).

The Assessment S ummary Report includes a description of:
• The criteria used to evaluate each parcel
• A description, with pictures, of the best practice methods to prevent runoff
• The scoring method used to obtain the red/orange/yellow/green ratings
• Cost-share (reimbursement) information.

To obtain the report on your property, send an email requesting it to lrpd.board@gmail.com. Your request must include your parcel number(s). The fire number/address is not useful for the identification of parcels. In part, this is because many addresses in the Sauk County database of properties contain more than one parcel. You can find your parcel number on your real estate tax bill and on your deed.

A workshop for property owners regarding the assessment and potential actions to be taken, was held on Friday, October 10th from 3-5pm at the La Valle Town Hall.
