Appeal Process

The Board of Review gives taxpayers an opportunity to challenge over-valuation through the official appeal process. Appeals must be filed during your township's open filing period.

Who should file here

Property owners or authorized representatives challenging assessed value after reviewing the assessment notice.

What you need

PIN, appellant information, basis for appeal, and supporting evidence such as comparables, photos, appraisals, income/expense materials, or notes.

What the Board does

Reviews the complaint, considers the evidence and law, and issues a decision through the BOR process.

Basic filing steps

Log in to the BOR portal or create an account.
Choose Submit Appeal and select Property Over Assessment if that is your basis.
Enter the PIN and add associated PINs only if needed.
Complete appellant contact information and select appellant type.
Request a hearing if appropriate.
Add comparables or key facts in the notes area if filing on uniformity grounds.
Upload supporting evidence now or later through My Appeals.

Important reminders

Filing windows are township-based and time-limited.
If your township is not open yet, you may be able to pre-file or preregister.
Evidence type matters. Choose the correct document type when uploading materials.
Under-assessment appeals, omitted assessments, and exemption applications may require direct contact with the Chief Clerk's Office.
