Property Assessment Appeals Board

The Property Assessment Appeals Board is a local authority that handles disputes between property owners and assessors regarding property tax assessments. When a property owner believes their property has been incorrectly valued, which affects their tax liability, they can appeal to this board. The board reviews evidence from both the property owner and the assessor to determine if the assessment was fair. Ultimately, the board can uphold the original assessment or adjust it, ensuring that property taxes are based on accurate property values. This process helps maintain equity in the property tax system.
