Petition to the County Board of Equalization for Review of Real Property Valuation Determination REV 64 0075 (7/26/23) Page 4 Instructions for Petition to the County Board of Equalization for Review of Real Property Valuation Determination All information in sections 1 – 4 must be completed (if applicable). The petition must be signed and dated. Without this information, your Petition for Review will not be considered complete. 1.Your account or parcel number appears on your determination notice, value change notice, and tax statement. If you are appealing multiple parcels, you must submit separate petitions for each parcel. 2.You may appeal the assessed value of the property. The assessed value is based on the true and fair value of the property. Check the box if you are requesting the information the assessor used to value the property. Appeal of assessed value To successfully appeal the assessed value of the property, you must show by clear, cogent, and convincing evidence the value established by the assessor is incorrect. In section 3, you must list the reasons why you believe the assessed value is incorrect. 3.List the specific reasons for the appeal. Statements that simply indicate the assessor’s valuation is too high or the amount of tax is excessive are not sufficient (WAC 458-14-056). The reasons must specifically indicate why you believe the assessed value does not represent the true and fair value of the property. Note any other issues you believe are relevant to the value of your property. If your appeal concerns a comparison of your assessment relative to assessments of other properties, the board may determine if all of the properties are assessed at their true and fair value. The board is limited to determining the market value of property. Therefore, any adjustment to the assessed value of your property or other properties must be based on evidence of the true and fair value of the property. 4.Indicate if you are acting under a written Power of Attorney. This section need not be completed if the agent is an attorney-at-law. Sign and date the petition. Additional information to support your estimate of value may be provided either with this petition or prior to 21 business days before the hearing. You must also provide a copy of any additional information to the assessor. The petition must be filed or postmarked by July 1 of the current assessment year or 30 days after the date of mailing of the change of value or other determination notice (up to 60 days in those counties that the Legislative Authority has extended the deadline). If filing after July 1, a copy of the determination notice must be attached to this petition. One original signed petition and one copy (including all attachments) should be filed with the County Board of Equalization in the county where the property is located.
