City of Centerville <br /> Appeals Procedure <br /> Each spring Anoka County sends out a property tax bill. Three factors that affect the tax bill are: <br /> 1. The amount your local governments (town, city, county, etc.) spend to provide services to <br /> your community, <br /> 2. the taxable market value of your property, and <br /> 3. the classification of your property(how it is used). <br /> The assessor determines the final two factors. You may appeal the value or classification of your <br /> property. <br /> Informal Appeal <br /> 0 Property owners are encouraged to call the appraiser or assessor whenever they have <br /> questions or concerns about their market value, classification of the property, or the <br /> assessment process. <br /> 0 Almost all questions can be answered during this informal appeal process. <br /> 0 When taxpayers call questioning their market value, every effort is made to make an <br /> appointment to inspect properties that were not previously inspected. <br /> 0 If the data on the property is correct, the appraiser is able to show the property owner <br /> other sales in the market that support the estimated market value. <br /> 0 If errors are found during the inspection, or other factors indicate a value reduction is <br /> warranted, the appraiser can easily make the changes at this time. <br /> Local Board of Equalization <br /> 0 The Local Board of Equalization includes the mayor and city council members. <br /> 0 The Board meets during April and early May. This year the Board meets on April 25th at <br /> 6:30 PM. <br /> 0 Taxpayers can make their appeal in person or by letter. <br /> 0 The assessor is present to answer any questions and present evidence supporting their <br /> value. <br /> County Board of Appeal and Equalization <br /> In order to appeal to the County Board of Appeal and Equalization, a property owner must first <br /> appeal to the Local Board of Appeal and Equalization. <br /> The County Board of Appeal and Equalization follows the Local Board of Appeal and <br /> Equalization in the assessment appeals process. <br /> iQ <br /> 16 <br />
