BOER - What should I expect at the hearing?

When you arrive, you will check in with the clerk sitting at the front desk. You will then be escorted to the hearing room. At your appointed time, the Board will call you forward. You will have five minutes to state to the BOER your opinion of value and explain the documentation you submitted to the County. The Board may ask you questions about your appeal. A screen and projector are set up to display a copy of the property record, related maps, and any appellant provided documentation submitted prior to the hearing.

The Board will hear your presentation and review the Tax Office’s opinion. BOER deliberations and decisions are not necessarily made immediately after presentations to accommodate appointments of other appellants, but will be made throughout the hearing day. Appellants are not required to stay for BOER deliberations but are welcome to do so. Tax Administration will mail a letter notifying you of the outcome. Decision letters are mailed within 30 days after the hearing date.
