Equalization Board

Burden of Proof

The burden of proof that a property owner has been wrongfully assessed lies with the Property Owner and not with the Assessor. Unless proven inaccurate, the assessment made by the Assessor stands.

Appeal Property Taxes

The Equalization Board will not discuss any properties by phone. You may schedule a hearing (see procedure below) to meet with them in person.

The Equalization Board will respond to a letter of appeal and make a decision based on information available to them. Any petition or letter for adjustment must be made; and/or, mailed before the third Monday in August.
