The Board listens to each appeal and makes a deteYmination YegaYding the value oY classification of the paYcel being considered. If the Board is not sure ho`v to vote, the decision should be "no change." The propertyT owner is then able to appeal to the CountyT Board or the Tax Court. All decisions should be adopted by a formal vote. Options for decisions include: ■ No change ■ Lo`ver the value of a propertyT ■ Raise the value of a pYopeYt�r ■ Notifyr propert�r otivneY of intent to Yaise the value ■ Change the classification of propertyT ■ Have the assessoY inspect the propertyr and YepoYt to the boaYd at a Yeconvene meeting 2. If the BoaYd determines fuYther review of anyr paYcels by the assessor are needed, a reconvene meeting must be set for the assessor to report back to the Board for further action. The date and time must be determined before the recess of this meeting. The date must be within 20 da�Ts of this meeting. The last date to schedule a reconvene meeting `vould be Frida�T, April 29. There is a Council meeting scheduled for MondayT, April 18. Background/Discussion Board Purpose The BoaYd's purpose is to objectivel�r determine if values and classifications of paYcels has been pYoperlyr set byr the assessor. It is assumed the assessor has properly valued and classified a propert�T and the burden of proof rests `vith the properttT o`vner. Appeals must be based on facts and the properttT o`vner �vho must present supporting evidence to the Board that the current yTear valuation or classification is incorrect. All changes made b�T the Board must be based on fact. Remember, reductions in value shift the tax burden to others. Reconvene Meeting All issues must be resolved before the meeting is adjourned. The Board should not order the assessor to revie`v a paYcel and change the valuation/classification and then adjourn. The BoaYd mayr ask the assessoY to review the parcel and report back to the BoaYd at a Yeconvene meeting. Once the Board has adjourned, it cannot Yeconvene.
