What can I expect at the hearing?
You and the assessor will each have the opportunity to give oral testimony in support of your opinions of value and written evidence before our independent Board of Equalization.

Keep in mind that the assessor is, by law, presumed to be correct. The burden of proof is on you to show that the assessed value is not correct by presenting clear, cogent, and convincing evidence to support your estimate of market value.
