I would like additional information regarding the annual Board of Review meetings
The Board of Review's initial meeting is scheduled within 30 days following the 2nd Monday of May. If the assessment roll has not been completed by the initial meeting, the Board of Review will adjourn and reconvene at a later date. Assessment change notices will be mailed at least 15 days prior to when the Board of Review convenes to consider appeals of assessed values. More detailed information is available by clicking; "Forms/Documents" and "Board of Review meeting notice to taxpayers"

What if I'd like my property assessment value reviewed?
The City's contracted Assessor places the assessment value on the property. If, after talking with the Assessor, you do not agree with the assessed value, your next step is to complete an "Objection Form." This form must be filed before you appear at the Board of Review meeting. The meeting is usually scheduled during the month of May (call the City Assessor or the Clerk/Treasurer for additional information).
