When appealing to the Board of Review, it is important to know that it is burden of the taxpayer to provide evidence showing why they believe the assessment placed upon the property is incorrect. The Board of Review must receive such evidence to determine if an assessment should be altered. It is imperative to be able to answer the questions, “What do you think the property is worth?” and “What documentation are you basing your opinion on?”. Per state law, the sale price of a property cannot be the sole determining factor of the assessment of that property. Neither the Assessor nor the Board of Review can raise or lower a property assessment based solely on its sale price. Residents cannot appeal their property taxes to the Board as they have no jurisdiction over property taxes. The Board of Review has the authority to increase or decrease the assessment of a parcel, however they do not have the authority to change millage rates.
