The Role of the BAA
The BAA is a state-level agency, and property owners appealing a county-assigned value or classification must first go through the county-level process before they can file an appeal with the BAA.
File an Appeal
The BAA uses an electronic case management system to manage its appeals. Create an account to file an appeal petition. You will need to file the county decision you are appealing along with your appeal. Supporting documentation (exhibits) don't need to be filed with your appeal-they are due four weeks before the hearing.
The Appeal Process
Create an Account
The BAA accepts, dockets, and manages all appeals through an electronic case management system. The appeal petition and all subsequent case filings are filed into and stored in this system. The system automatically emails notifications of all filings to case parties and the BAA. To access and use the system, you must first create an account.
File an Appeal
After you create an account, you will have the ability to fill out and submit an appeal petition. The petition form will prompt you for the required supporting documentation. You will need to upload a copy of the decision you are appealing. You will also need to pay any applicable filing fees. The BAA reviews the petition to ensure all required information and documentation is provided.
Hearing
When the appeal petition is accepted, the BAA schedules a hearing date and issues a Notice of Hearing. The BAA will hold a videoconference hearing to consider the evidence of both sides and decide whether the valuation or classification of the appealed property is incorrect. The evidence presented may include documentary exhibits and testimony. Proposed exhibits and a witness list must be filed four weeks before the hearing in compliance with the Board Rules.
Appeal Resolution
Some appeals are settled or withdrawn. If the appeal goes to hearing, following the hearing the BAA will issue a written final agency order resolving the appeal. The BAA issues all orders through its case management system.
