How to Appeal Your Assessed Value


When you receive your assessment notice, read it for instructions about deadlines and filing procedures. They vary from state to state. If they’re not clear, call the assessor’s office for information. A missed deadline or incorrect filing can cause an appeal to be dismissed. The first step in an appeal is usually an informal meeting with someone in the assessor’s office. (Sometimes, this informal review is handled by telephone or mail.) Information on the mechanics and deadlines for setting up an appointment should be included with your assessment notice, along with additional information for the entire appeals process.
