Value Hearing Officer Option

What is the difference between the Assessment Appeals Board and the Value Hearing Officer?

The Assessment Appeals Board is a three-member panel and the hearings have a more formal courtroom atmosphere, while a hearing with the Value Hearing Officer is less formal. The Value Hearing Officer is a real estate professional who hears residential valuation appeals. Having your appeal scheduled before a Value Hearing Officer is considered an expedient and convenient alternative to the more formal Assessment Appeals Board proceedings, and may provide a faster resolution to your appeal. To choose this option when completing your Assessment Appeal Application form, check the "Yes" box in item #9 on the application form. For more information, click on the Value Hearing Officer Proceedings Brochure.
