What if the assessor did not change the value at open book and the case went to the Board of Review where the assessor agreed with what the property owner presented?
If the assessor agrees with the property owner at open book, the value should be changed at that time before the assessor’s affidavit is signed. Once the affidavit is signed, the assessor is compelled to defend the value in the roll unless an obvious palpable error has been made. In all cases the Board of Review must decide based on the evidence presented to it.
