Assessment Appeal Boards

Assessment Appeal Boards are independent bodies that handle disputes over property assessments, which determine the value of a property for tax purposes. If a property owner disagrees with their assessed value, they can appeal to the board. The board reviews evidence from both the property owner and the assessing authority to make an impartial decision. Their goal is to ensure fair property valuations and uphold the principles of equity in taxation, ultimately helping to resolve disagreements outside of the court system.
