Property Tax Appeals Board

The Property Tax Appeals Board (PTAB) is an administrative body that allows property owners to contest their property tax assessments. If a homeowner believes their property’s value has been assessed too high, resulting in unfair taxes, they can file an appeal with the PTAB. The board reviews the appeal, evaluates evidence, and makes a decision on whether to adjust the property’s assessed value. This process helps ensure fair taxation based on accurate property valuations, providing a recourse for homeowners to potentially lower their tax bills if they believe the assessment is incorrect.
