RICHMOND BOARD OF EQUALIZATION APPLICATION
2017
______________________________________________________________
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Board of Equalization (BOE) is a panel of three qualified citizens appointed by the Circuit Court for the purpose of
hearing real estate assessment appeals on assessments made during the current tax year.
The current assessment is presumed by law to be correct unless it is clearly shown to be in error. Applicable law places the
burden of proof on the taxpayer to show that the property in question is assessed inequitably with similar properties.
All decisions of the BOE are binding on the property owner and the City for the current year unless the case is continued
before the Circuit Court by either party. The decision of the BOE will result in a decreased assessment; a no change in
assessment; or an increased assessment.
Appointment times are limited, it is important that appellant presentations be concise and relevant to the issue.
