What is an informal hearing?

Towards the end of the Revaluation, every homeowner receives a notice of their proposed valuation based on the analysis performed. These values are not final, only after the hearings will values be final. When a homeowner has a question or concern about the proposed valuation, they are asked to call the firm and a date and time to meet will be set to discuss the valuation process and answer any questions the homeowner may have. An informal hearing is not a forum to discuss taxes, it is strictly meant to answer questions of the property valuations. Homeowners should come prepared with questions and have compared their property to other comparable ones in their neighborhood. A determination will be made as to whether a review of the property is necessary. All changes to value that occur to a hearing will be reflected in the change notice that is sent after the hearings are complete.
