Local Tax Assessment Boards

Local Tax Assessment Boards are committees that review and resolve disputes related to property tax assessments within a municipality. When property owners believe their property has been unfairly assessed, they can appeal to these boards. The boards evaluate evidence from both the property owner and the local tax assessor to determine if the assessment accurately reflects the property's value. Their decisions can lead to adjustments in property taxes, ensuring fairness and transparency in local taxation. Overall, they play a vital role in maintaining equitable property tax assessments in the community.
