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
-
Principal Residence Exemption (PRE)
-
Qualified Agricultural Exemption (QAE)
The Board of Review does not determine tax rates or millages.
Before Filing an Appeal
Residents are strongly encouraged to 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)
Statements such as “my taxes are too high” are not sufficient without supporting market data.
