No person may be allowed in any action or proceedings to question the amount or valuation of property, unless the written objection has been filed and that person, in good faith, presented evidence to the Board of Review in support of the objections and made full disclosure before the Board of Review, under oath, of all of that person’s property liable to assessment in the district and the value of that property. The requirement that objections be in writing, may be waived by express action of the board. d.

Stat. § 70.47(3)(a), that person provides notice to the Board of Review clerk, as to whether the person will ask for the removal of a member of the Board of Review and, if so, which member, and provides a reasonable estimate of the length of time the hearing will take. h.
