Overview

The County Tax Appeal Board hears protests concerning assessments made by the Department of Revenue in accordance with rules prescribed by the State Tax Appeal Board. The primary purpose of the County Tax Appeal Board is to review the market value assigned by the Department of Revenue and to determine if the taxed property is correctly appraised at 100% market value. Disputed decisions of the County Tax Appeal Board are submitted to the State Tax Appeal Board.

Members of the County Tax Appeal Board should possess a clear understanding of market value, costs of construction, and the concept of capitalization of income. Appointees to this Board should be flexible for scheduling of tax hearings. Hearings for Appeals are scheduled on an as-needed basis.
