Filing a Petition with the Value Adjustment Board (VAB)

You can appeal the values on your Notice by contacting the Value Adjustment Board and filing a $15 petition by the deadline on the Notice.

  • Filing a petition will allow you a hearing in front of a Special Magistrate, in which you would demonstrate why you think your property was assessed over fair market value. 
  • We encourage you to talk to or visit the Property Appraiser first, before the deadline on your 'notice', for a review of your folio and an explanation of the assessment.
