How to Appeal

There are two different ways to appeal an assessment of a property.

1. Form 130- Used for subjective appeals. Taxpayer’s judgment as to the correct market value of the property. ( Must be used to appeal assessed value of the current year’s F-11 and must be filed before deadline on the F-11.)

A separate form 130 must be filled out for each parcel you are appealing

2. For Objective Appeals. Write or e-mail a letter to the County Assessor with the following information

• Parcel number of the property,
• Address of the property,
• Name of taxpayer,
• Mailing address of taxpayer,
• Phone number of taxpayer, and
• Reason for the appeal or request for re-evaluation

This is to be used to appeal objective issues. (i.e. incorrect square footage, barn on property that does not exist, etc) (Square footage for property valuation is measured from the outside of the building.)

*Please note: Objective appeals filed on more than one parcel may be submitted on the same letter, provided the same entity owns all of the parcels.

Appeals can be submitted in person to the County Assessor’s Office or can be mailed to:
