Appeals

If you disagree with an assessment made by the Assessor, the Assessor recommends that you first discuss your situation with a member of the Assessor's staff to assist you in understanding the methods and market data used in determining taxable value.

If you still disagree, you have the right to appeal that assessment to the Assessment Appeals Board by filing and Assessment Appeals Application with the Clerk of the Assessment Appeals Board. This process provides for an independent third party, either a Hearing Officer, or 3 member Board, to hear from both sides and independently decide the taxable value of the property based on the evidence submitted.

Filing an Assessment Appeal Application does NOT excuse you from paying taxes as they become due. To avoid penalties, you must pay your taxes on time. If you are successful in your appeal, an adjustment will be made or a refund will be processed.

More information about the Assessment Appeals process can be found on the Clerk of the Assessment Appeal's Board website.
