Annual Appeals

How to Appeal an Assessed Value

The Application Process

The assessed value of a property may be appealed annually, by the owner, school district or municipality. There is no filing fee for this service.

The Appellant may:

• Complete and return the Annual Appeal Form to the Office of Property Assessments. This form is available in the first quarter of each year - after certification in January, until the deadline printed on the form.
• Submit by April 1st for 2024.
• Submit by mail, in person, or email or online; do not submit by fax.
  • You will need to bring up your parcel and click on the "Appeal Status" tab to see the appeal option. Detailed directions(PDF, 936KB) are available.

If you missed the deadline for the filing an Annual Appeal you may still, under limited circumstances, be allowed to appeal with a Late Filed Appeal Form(PDF, 349KB).

The Office of Property Assessments will:

• Schedule a hearing date for the appeal before the Board of Property Assessment Appeals and Review (BPAAR).
• Send you advance notice of the hearing date (21 days - at minimum- for residential, 30 days for commercial).
• Prepare the hearing file with the phone number participants provide to be called for the hearing, and evidence that is submitted timely.
