News & Information
 Assessment appeals are an important component of our process. Appeals provide an opportunity for property owners to inquire about their assessments and to learn about assessment and appeal procedures.
If you feel your assessed value does not reflect what your property would likely sell for on the open market, please call and discuss it with your appraiser.
Idaho law allows taxpayers to appeal their assessment to the Board of Equalization and thus assure the public that assessments are correct, fair, and equitable.
