the County Tax Appeal Board’s decision. The decision of the State Tax Appeal Board is final, unless you pursue district court action.)

Other (such as Class action suit or District Court action)

IF NONE OF THE ABOVE BOXES HAVE BEEN CHECKED, PAYMENT CANNOT BE PAID UNDER PROTEST

Paym ent of property tax es or fees under protest is the responsibility of the tax payer

N o delinquent tax es m ay be protested

Taxes must be paid before they become delinquent. (

)

(A person appealing a property tax or fee shall pay the tax or fee under protest when due in order to receive a refund. If the tax or fee is not

paid under protest when due, the appeal may continue but a tax or fee may not be refunded as a result of the appeal.)

Payment must be accompanied by a written protest for that portion of the tax protested. The written protest must specify the grounds or

reasons the taxes are being paid under protest. The amount paid under protest must directly relate to those grounds specified.

If your taxes become due before the above is resolved, they must be paid under protest with the county treasurer or it may not be possible to

obtain a refund and accrued interest.

You must pay under written protest that portion of the property tax or fee protested. This is not to exceed the difference between the

payment for the immediately preceding tax year and the amount owing in the tax year protested unless a different amount results from the

specified grounds of protest, which may include but are not limited to changes in assessment due to reappraisal.

(The entire amount of your tax may not be protested)

nie

Payment of taxes under protest simply sets the designated mo

s aside, in the protest fund, until the appeal already in progress has been resolved. (

the case of a lawsuit filed after payment under protest, until the courts enter a final judgment.)
