Appeal and Litigation

In property tax law, **appeal** refers to the process of challenging a property tax assessment when a property owner believes the assessed value is too high, leading to excessive taxes. This appeal can be made to local tax authorities or boards. **Litigation**, on the other hand, involves taking the dispute to court if the appeal does not yield a satisfactory result. This legal process allows property owners to seek a formal ruling regarding their property taxes. Both avenues aim to ensure the tax assessment is fair and accurate.
