What is the responsibility of the Board of Review and why do they meet at various times of the year?
The March Board of Review is convened during the first two weeks of March. The Board of Review is a small group of citizens appointed by City Council under State law to hear taxpayer appeals. If you feel that your Assessed Property Values are too high, based on your analysis of your property, you may file a protest with this Board. Meetings with the Board of Review are by appointment only. The meeting dates and times will be supplied with your Assessment Change Notice. The July and December Board of Reviews convene to correct factual errors on your Assessment Record or Principal Residence Exemption issues. You may come to the Assessing Department at any time and review your record to ensure that you are being assessed properly.
