Board of Review for Assessments

The Board of Review hears citizen appeals regarding property assessments. This board has the power to raise or lower the assessed value of properties in light of the evidence presented and in accordance with state law.

The Board of Review meets for three weeks in March to hear appeals beginning on the first Tuesday after the first Monday. It also meets in July and December to approve corrections to the Assessment Roll.

March 2023 Board of Review

Each year, prior to the March Board of Review meetings, informational notices are mailed. The “Notice of Assessment, Taxable Valuation, and Property Classification” also includes State Equalized Value, the percent of exemption as a Principal Residence or Qualified Agricultural Property, and if there was or was not an Ownership Transfer.

This notice includes the dates and times of the local Board of Review and the process for appealing an assessment. A property owner who makes an appeal must provide documented evidence as to why the assessment is inaccurate or incorrect. Evidence may include an appraisal, a list of sales in your neighborhood that are similar to your home, or pictures of damage or deterioration that may exist, among other things.

The Board will meet starting March 8, 2023. Walk-ins are not permitted. To schedule an in-person appointment, call (269) 337-8845 before 5:00 pm March 7, 2023. The Board will also accept protests from both residents and non-residents in writing if received in the office by March 16, 2023 at 5:00 p.m. Postmarks are not acceptable If you are representing an owner, you must provide written authorization to present your appeal.
