Tax Assessment Appeals Boards

Tax Assessment Appeals Boards are local or regional bodies that allow property owners to challenge their property tax assessments. When a property owner believes their property has been overvalued by the tax assessor, they can appeal to this board. The board reviews evidence from both the property owner and the tax assessor, and then makes a decision on whether to uphold or adjust the assessment. This process ensures fairness in property taxation and gives homeowners a voice in disputing tax values they consider inaccurate. Each jurisdiction may have its own rules and procedures for filing an appeal.
