Property tax law may give you the right to an appeal before the governing agency or a state court. Typically, if you disagree with your property tax assessment, you must request a hearing before the body that does property tax assessments. At the hearing you must provide evidence as to why the property tax information is improper. The body will consider your evidence and eventually make a property tax law ruling on the assessment.
