“Change of Assessment Notices” are mailed to taxpayers in February of each year, and include the new State Equalized Value (SEV), Taxable Value and the dates of the March Board of Review meetings. After receiving this notice, a taxpayer may request an informal review with the Assessor prior to a more formal review by the Board of Review.
