What the Board of Review Does

The March Board of Review meets annually to hear appeals regarding property assessments.

The Board may review:

  • Assessed value

  • Taxable value (limited situations)

  • Property classification

  • Qualified Agricultural Exemption (QAE)

The Board of Review does not determine tax rates or milages.

Before Filing an Appeal

Residents may contact the Township Assessor before the March meetings. Many questions can be resolved informally.

Bring documentation to support your appeal, such as:

  • Recent appraisal

  • Comparable sales

  • Photos of condition issues

  • Repair estimates

  • Closing documents (if recently purchased)

  • Statement as to your contention of true cash value (market value)

Statements such as “my taxes are too high” are not sufficient without supporting market data.
