Vacant Land Hearings

A hearing is your chance to stand before a Commissioner or one of the Board of Review Deputies to explain why your property assessment should be reduced. It is an opportunity to present your evidence and any special circumstances surrounding your assessment.

Hearings (FAQ #15 & #16) are scheduled by township. Once your completed “Board Complaint Form” is submitted, you will receive a hearing notice in the mail. You do not necessarily have to attend this hearing, but any evidence to support your appeal must be received before your scheduled hearing day. RULE 14

What to bring:
• Copies of any evidence you wish to submit, especially proof of catastrophe or demolition permits
• Anything you feel might help your case
