Board of Assessment Appeals

The Board of Assessment Appeals is a local government body that allows property owners to challenge their property tax assessments if they believe their property's value has been incorrectly appraised. If a property owner disagrees with the assessed value set by the assessor, they can request a hearing before the board. The board reviews the evidence, such as recent sales or appraisals, and may adjust the valuation if justified. This process ensures fairness in property taxation, helping prevent over- or under-valuation that could lead to inaccurate tax bills.
