Assessment Appeals   
Notice of Assessments are mailed mid to end of February each year. This is an opportunity for property owners to review Assessed/Taxable value changes, Principal Residence and Qualified Agricultural Exemption percentages, Property Classification, estimated increase in taxes and whether or not the property transferred ownership. In the event you do not agree with the information it is suggested that you call and discuss your Notice of Assessment. After your discussion, you may schedule an appointment with the March Board of Review. The Board of Review consist of three township residents who hear assessment appeals and render a decision based on the information provided by the owner of record. Meeting dates, times and location are posted on the notice. 

July and December Board of Review meets to address Qualified Errors and Poverty Exemptions (see form below). The July and December Boards do not hear valuation appeals.
