Board of Assessment Review (BAR) Description and Duties
Taxpayers who feel their assessments are unequal, excessive or unlawful or that their property is misclassified, have a right to have their assessments reviewed administratively by the Board of Assessment Review, or, if necessary, by the courts. The first step in the assessment review procedure is filing a timely written complaint with the board of assessment review. You, as a member of the board of assessment review, have been vested with the duty and responsibility of hearing assessment complaints in the first instance, and exercising your judgment and discretion to render an impartial, objective determination on complaints of assessments brought before you, including a statement of the reasons for the determination.
The BAR meets from 4-8pm on the fourth Tuesday of May and reconvenes approximately 1 week later for 1-2 hours depending on the number of cases. There is one short training session for all new board members.
