Field staff from Associated Appraisal will be starting property inspections on Monday, August 1 for the 2016 revaluation project. They will make their way through the Village over the course of about a two week period. All staff members from Associated Appraisal will carry a letter of introduction on Village letterhead, a photo ID and drive a red vehicle displaying the Associated Appraisal company name. 

If no one is home when visiting a property, a door hanger will be placed on the main entrance with instructions on how to schedule an interior review. Please wait for the door hanger to schedule your appointment. If you own rental property in the Village of Wind Point, please inform your tenants that we will be visiting that property in the near future so we have their full cooperation for this review. To help us save on the cost of certified mailings, please be home for the initial inspection or schedule an inspection shortly after receiving the door hanger.

For further assistance, please contact Associated Appraisal at 800-721-4157 or the Village Office at 262-639-3524. Thank you for your cooperation with this important project!

The bicycle and walking path located along the west border of the Entomology Research Center is expected to be resurfaced this summer or early fall. The path runs from Four Mile Rd. down to Lake Meadow Dr. and then picks up again east of the pond and runs from Campus Dr. to Three Mile Rd. The path is located on property owned by SC Johnson, Wind Meadows Corporation and The Prairie School.

The Village has agreed with the parties on a cost-sharing arrangement to complete the resurfacing project. Both SC Johnson and the Village will contribute $10,000, The Prairie School will contribute $1,766 for the portion on their property and Wind Meadows will contribute the remaining $11,257. Parties are also discussing an arrangement for the Village to accept day-to-day maintenance of the path. The path will be closed for a period of up to a week during the resurfacing project.

• The average score for overall experience has been 4.75 out of 5.
• Nearly 98% of respondents found the information presented interesting and 100% found the staff and volunteers to be friendly and courteous!
• 90% of respondents said they would definitely recommend the lighthouse to a friend, and since almost 50% said that they heard about us from “word of mouth” we are happy that they are going to be spreading the word!

Crews from Fahrner Asphalt were in the Village on Wednesday, July 27 to slag seal on Hunt Club Rd. (and nearby roads) and Windridge Rd. The roads will be vacuum swept and then inspected by Village staff and the contractor. We are aware of some bumps on the sealed surface and we will be making sure these will smoothen out or are otherwise addressed.

The Village enforces building and zoning codes to protect the safety of residents and to ensure that work meets national, state and local standards. We strongly encourage homeowners to contact Village staff during the early planning stages of a project to determine the code and permit requirements.

Permits are required for a wide variety of home improvement and maintenance projects, including (but not limited to) additions, decks, driveway resurfacing, patios, roofs, siding, windows, remodeling, cabinetry, garages, sheds, new or replacement plumbing fixtures, electrical work, new or replacement furnace, boiler or air conditioner or work in the public right-of-way. Contact the Village Office at 262-639-3524 or info@windpointwi.us for permit information, or call the Building Inspector, Lee Greivell, directly at 262-424-6957.
