Use the Petition for Review to appeal the full cash (market) value shown on the Notice of Valuation

Information necessary to complete this petition is contained on the Notice of Valuation. Additional information regarding your property value and/or classification may be obtained from the County Assessor in which the property is located.
You may file an appeal on your own or name an agent to represent you in the administrative appeals process. If an agent is designated, an Agency Authorization (DOR 82130AA) must accompany the Petition for Review.

COMPLETING THE FORM

Complete items 1 through 8 where applicable.
You are required to notify the Assessor of rental status of your property. Indicate this in Item 2.
You MUST state the method or methods of valuation on which you are basing your appeal and provide substantial information justifying your opinion of value in item 5.

If your appeal is based on:
1. The market approach, include the full cash value for at least one (1) comparable property within the same geographic area as the property in question or the sale of the property in question.
2. The cost approach, include the cost to build or rebuild your improvement, plus the land value.
You may request a meeting with the County Assessor by checking the appropriate box in item 8. If you are unable to meet with the Assessor at the time and place set by the Assessor you may submit written evidence to support the petition before the date of the meeting. All issues raised must be included on the Petition for Review.

STEP 1 - APPEALS TO THE ASSESSOR

FILING DEADLINE: File petitions with the County Assessor in which the property is located within 60 days of the mail date shown on the Notice of Valuation. United States Postal Service postmark dates are evidence of the date petitions were filed and decisions were mailed.

The petition must include a copy of the Agency Authorization form if applicable and the Assessor's decision if it is on a separate form.
