What happens if the assessor and I are unable to resolve our differences. What is the next step? |
 |
All states have mechanisms to challenge tax bills, both informally and formally. In both, adherence to procedure and time limitations are critical. For example, a missed filing deadline or an incorrect filing can cause an appeal to be dismissed. The laws and procedures vary from state to state.
Most states have between two and four tiers of appeal. The next level of appeal after the local assessor is an administrative agency (e.g., county review board, county commissioner) where you can again present evidence that supports your opinion of value. Should you fail at that juncture, there are further remedies to the state or in court. If court is your next stop, contact a lawyer whose specialty is representing owners in these types of disputes. |
