What is the purpose of the Appeal Forms and why is there a deadline?
The purpose of the form is so that the Assessor (Administrative Appeal) and/or the BOE (BOE
Appeal) know the basis of the appeal prior to the meeting or hearing. Hearings are limited in
time, so having the basis of the appeal prior to the hearing allows the Assessor or BOE to
be better prepared which keeps the hearing process on time.

The Administrative Appeal process and BOE Appeal timing process are dictated by state
code. The Assessor must complete his hearing within a certain time frame, so that property
owners wishing to appeal further to the BOE have sufficient time to do so. The BOE is also
constrained by a deadline to compete its finding prior to the printing of the locality’s Land
Book.
