At the time of appeal submission, photos of property structural defects, invoices, estimates, fire/demolition reports, and property appraisals. A recent appraiser from a licensed appraiser showing the value is significantly different would be accepted. Mortgage appraisals are usually not acceptable.
  • The March Board of Review can make decisions for the current year assessment roll only. The March Board of Review does not have authority to go back in time and review or change prior year matters. Provide evidence to support your claim. Every person who makes a timely request, protest, or application to the March Board of Review must be notified in writing of the Board of Review’s action and information regarding the right of further appeal, not later than the first Monday in June.
