Property tax assessments can be complex, and there may be times when you have questions about how yours was determined especially when comparing it to your neighbor’s assessment. Open Book and Board of Review (BOR) are powerful tools that can help you understand your assessment and ensure its accuracy.
What is Open Book?
During Open Book, you can review the official assessment of your property. This includes details like land value, building value, and total assessed value. This is your chance to identify any errors or discrepancies you may find.
Why is it Important?
An accurate property assessment directly affects your property taxes. If your assessment is too high, you could be paying more than your fair share. Open Book allows you to address these concerns before the final assessment is set.
What Happens at the Board of Review?
If you find a discrepancy during Open Book, you can bring it before the Board of Review. The Board will hear your case and consider evidence you provide to adjust your assessment if warranted. Remember, once the Board of Review concludes, it becomes much harder to challenge your assessment.
