Assessment Appeals Board

An Assessment Appeals Board is a local government panel that reviews disputes related to property assessments. When property owners believe their property value has been assessed unfairly, they can file an appeal to this board. The board consists of appointed members who evaluate the evidence presented by both the property owner and the assessing authority. Their goal is to ensure that property taxes levied are based on accurate and fair valuations. If the board finds in favor of the property owner, they may adjust the assessed value accordingly. This process helps maintain fairness in property taxation.
