Assessment appeals are the mechanism that property owners use to dispute their assessment with their local taxing jurisdiction(s). There are a variety of procedures for appealing tax assessments, and it may require hiring a professional appraiser. Assessed value appeals are handled on various levels and an appraiser can be engaged by a variety of clients (taxpayers, agents for the taxpayer, legal and financial advisors, hearing boards, assessment review boards, etc.). Assessment appeal work provides a great opportunity to diversify your appraisal practice.
This course has been designed to be applicable to practicing appraisers nationwide and does not address all of the specific local jurisdictional laws and regulations, which tend to vary greatly. There are two aspects of an assessment appeal: matters of valuation or fact, such as the amount of an assessment, and matters of law, such as the interpretation of statutes. This course addresses matters of valuation of real property.
Course Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:
• Explain why the appeal process is described as an assessment appeal and not a tax appeal.
• Explain the generalized assessment appeal process.
• Identify the most common methods of assessment appeal
• Illustrate how the JURISDICTIONAL EXCEPTION RULE may be used in real property assessment appeals.

Assessment appeals are the mechanism that property owners use to dispute their assessment with their local taxing jurisdiction(s). There are a variety of procedures for appealing tax assessments, and it may require hiring a professional appraiser. Assessed value appeals are handled on various levels and an appraiser can be engaged by a variety of clients (taxpayers, agents for the taxpayer, legal and financial advisors, hearing boards, assessment review boards, etc.). Assessment appeal work provides a great opportunity to diversify your appraisal practice.
This course has been designed to be applicable to practicing appraisers nationwide and does not address all of the specific local jurisdictional laws and regulations, which tend to vary greatly. There are two aspects of an assessment appeal: matters of valuation or fact, such as the amount of an assessment, and matters of law, such as the interpretation of statutes. This course addresses matters of valuation of real property.
Course Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:
• Explain why the appeal process is described as an assessment appeal and not a tax appeal.
• Explain the generalized assessment appeal process.
• Identify the most common methods of assessment appeal
• Illustrate how the JURISDICTIONAL EXCEPTION RULE may be used in real property assessment appeals.

Assessment appeals are the mechanism that property owners use to dispute their assessment with their local taxing jurisdiction(s). There are a variety of procedures for appealing tax assessments, and it may require hiring a professional appraiser. Assessed value appeals are handled on various levels and an appraiser can be engaged by a variety of clients (taxpayers, agents for the taxpayer, legal and financial advisors, hearing boards, assessment review boards, etc.). Assessment appeal work provides a great opportunity to diversify your appraisal practice.
This course has been designed to be applicable to practicing appraisers nationwide and does not address all of the specific local jurisdictional laws and regulations, which tend to vary greatly. There are two aspects of an assessment appeal: matters of valuation or fact, such as the amount of an assessment, and matters of law, such as the interpretation of statutes. This course addresses matters of valuation of real property.
Course Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:
• Explain why the appeal process is described as an assessment appeal and not a tax appeal.
• Explain the generalized assessment appeal process.
• Identify the most common methods of assessment appeal
• Illustrate how the JURISDICTIONAL EXCEPTION RULE may be used in real property assessment appeals.

Assessment appeals are the mechanism that property owners use to dispute their assessment with their local taxing jurisdiction(s). There are a variety of procedures for appealing tax assessments, and it may require hiring a professional appraiser. Assessed value appeals are handled on various levels and an appraiser can be engaged by a variety of clients (taxpayers, agents for the taxpayer, legal and financial advisors, hearing boards, assessment review boards, etc.). Assessment appeal work provides a great opportunity to diversify your appraisal practice.
This course has been designed to be applicable to practicing appraisers nationwide and does not address all of the specific local jurisdictional laws and regulations, which tend to vary greatly. There are two aspects of an assessment appeal: matters of valuation or fact, such as the amount of an assessment, and matters of law, such as the interpretation of statutes. This course addresses matters of valuation of real property.

• Explain why the appeal process is described as an assessment appeal and not a tax appeal.

This course is a primer on how to inspect a single-unit residential property, and it is designed to be meaningful and relevant for experienced appraisers and novice appraisers alike. Newer appraisers are likely to find a lot of new and useful information in this course. More experienced appraisers are expected to receive a few tips and tricks, and also receive some affirmation about their current inspection practices. We will also touch on some issues that can be problematic for appraisers including identifying architectural styles, completing appraisals of proposed dwellings based on plans and specifications, and construction stage inspections.
