HEARINGS
The purpose of the appeal hearing is to evaluate the property assessment based upon evidence
presented. The appellant will be notified by U.S. Mail of the hearing date, time and place at least
five (5) days in advance of said hearing, unless they have chosen to have the Board decide their
appeal based on the contents of the submission, in which case there will be no hearing notice.
HEARING PROCESS
Because of the volume of appeals before the Board of Review, most hearings are scheduled
at fifteen-minute intervals. All presentations by the appellant and the assessor, along with
questions that may be asked by the Board, must be completed within this time frame.
Hearings will be conducted in the following format: The appellant or his/her representative may
present testimony regarding the assessment and shall be required to answer any questions of the
Board of Review. The Township Assessor or a representative from his/her office may also be
present to give evidence concerning the property and its assessment. Each party may then present
closing or rebuttal remarks and then the hearing will close. The Board of Review will consider
the evidence and testimony and generally announce their decision at that time.
All hearings are open to the public. If a transcript of a hearing is desired, a court reporter will
have to be obtained at the expense of either the appellant, his/her agent or attorney prior to the
hearing. If an appeal is scheduled for hearing and the appellant has not made an appearance or
placed a phone call to the Board at the designated date and time, the Board will make their
decision based on the evidence submitted with the appeal, including any evidence submitted by
the Assessor.
Copies of all appeals and initial evidence supplied with the appeals are forwarded to the
township assessor. The Board of Review requires that the township assessor’s evidence be
in the Board office three business days prior to a scheduled hearing. The Board strongly
encourages township assessors to provide appellants with township evidence prior to a
scheduled hearing.
Any additional evidence provided by any party after the initial appeal filing should be
shared with all other parties involved prior to a scheduled hearing. Evidence submitted at
the hearing by any party (appellant, assessor or intervenor) may be accepted by the Board;
however, it may not be given the same weight as evidence that is submitted in accordance
with the Board rules.
UNIFORMITY APPEALS
Evidence must be presented to substantiate a contention of non-uniformity. Three comparable
properties from the immediate area of the subject property are required to be included in the
appeal. In general, these properties should be located near the subject property and in the same
subdivision or neighborhood. They should be similar in size, age, construction and style. For
residential appeals, the Board requires that appellants complete the Residential Comparison Grid
which can be obtained from the Board of Review’s internet site
( ), the Board of Review office or from your local
township assessor’s office. Among the key pieces of information on this grid are
“Neighborhood” and “Number of Stories”. Both assessors and appellants are encouraged to
present photos to substantiate comparability of properties discussed in the hearing.
