It is strongly recommended that the taxpayer discuss their assessment with the Township Assessor prior to

the filing of an appeal with the Board of Review. Many times the reason for the assessment can be made clear

and the need for filing an appeal eliminated. If, after talking with the Township Assessor, the taxpayer still wishes

to pursue an appeal, he/she should familiarize themselves with the 2004 Rules Governing Hearings Before the

Board of Review of Lake County below. It should be noted that the time period for filing is not waived in any way

to allow for discussing the assessment with the Assessor. The Board of Review shall determine the correct

assessment prior to state equalization of any parcel of real property which is the subject of an appeal based on

facts, evidence, exhibits and briefs submitted to or elicited by the Board from the appellant, the Assessor, and/or

other interested parties.
