FEATURED ASSESSOR
PETER KRYSTOWIAK
Deputy Assessor – City of Kenosha
Population: 99,218
(262) 653-4480 [email protected]
Pete received a Business Degree from UW - Milwaukee.
At the time of his graduation the interest rate had just
fallen and the market for home sales was strong and the
market for refinancing existing mortgages even stronger.
The quickest and most profitable job out of college was
working for an appraisal firm turning out multiple residential appraisals a week. After a year to year and a half, the economy turned a bit south and the
interest rates started to rise. Appraisal requests were not as abundant. Pete saw the community
he grew up in, Cudahy, was going to have a revaluation. He made an inquiry to the firm performing the revaluation to see if he could assist. He got his feet wet by working nights in Bayside with
interior and maintenance inspections. Then he left the appraisal firm to work full time assisting
with the revaluation in Cudahy. That was just the beginning. He went on to assist with revaluations in Bayside and Stevens Point. In 1996 he went to work for the City of Kenosha Assessor’s
Office. Pete has been the Deputy Assessor since 1999.
A member of WAAO since 1995, Pete is currently a director. He is also a member of the Ad Hoc
Commercial Sales Committee. He was Chairman of the League Conference in September 2011. In
the past he was both a member and chair of the Personal Property Committee and the Education
Committee. He received Presidential Citations in 2002 and 2005.
Pete likes that his job requires him to be a jack of all trades. One day you may have to crunch
numbers on a complex income approach. Other days you have to turn on the charm and use your
public relations skills. Some days an assessor has to act as an educator, other days you are an
attorney defending your position. Every day and every situation presents unique and interesting
challenges. The downside of the job is trying to fulfill expectations of extremely accurate and well
researched assessments while funding, amount of personnel, and quality of resources decrease
every year. Unique commercial appeals are a challenge as well.
If he could make changes to assessing in Wisconsin, Pete would like for the public, DOR, and government officials to truly understand the assessment process. Also, for the same parties to understand the importance of accurate, uniform, and equitable assessments as the taxes generated from
the assessments are one of the largest bills most people get during the year. If government officials
and the public would realize this importance, adequate funding would be provided to assessors in
order to produce and defend the values.
Pete has been married to his wife, Gina, for 15 years. They have an 8 year old daughter, Nora, and
a 4 year old son, Eli. Most of Pete’s free time is dedicated to his family and family activities. Many
people have told him to enjoy every minute with his children, and to create memories that will last
their lifetimes. He has followed that advice and most of the time away from work involves one or
both of his children. Although he has not picked up a golf club, softball bat, or played a pick-up
game of basketball in over four years, Pete is a big sports fan. Residing in Kenosha has intensified

his Packer and Brewer allegiances as it seems he is often surrounded by Bear, Cub, and/or White
Sox fans.
Something you might not know about Pete is during college he worked summers for Wisconsin
Electric under downtown Milwaukee. Downtown Milwaukee has numerous steam pipes/tunnels
located underground. They are used to heat most buildings in the winter. He assisted crews in
maintaining and checking these systems.
“I tend not to become involved in anything until I am comfortable with
the surroundings/situation. Tend not to like jumping in feet first.” – Pete
Krystowiak
