Clark County Department of GIS and Assessment / Notice of Value.
You may have noticed a pesky little mailing from the county concerning your property’s new value for taxation purposes.
What is a notice of value? Property owners receive a notice of value when the department determines there has been a change in their property value. The notice shows previous and current year's values. Current values are used to compute the following year's taxes and include exemptions and deferrals on record.
Who do I contact with questions about the notice and the new value? If you have questions about the value or the data used in its development, please call one of our review appraisers. In-person meetings should be scheduled in advance.
What happens if I don't agree with the review appraiser? You have two options. First you may request an informal appraisal inquiry that will allow you to review and verify the data used to establish your value, e.g., square feet, style of construction, etc. Often, differences are resolved at this point. If you still disagree, you may file a petition with the county Board of Equalization.
What is the Board of Equalization? The Board of Equalization is an impartial citizen board that hears property value disputes and determines assessed value. The board is located at 500 West 8th Street, Suite 19 (lower level). You can call them at (360) 397-2337 for additional information or to request forms.
When do I file the BOE petition? Petitions must be filed with the BOE within 60 days after your notice of value was mailed. To protect your right to appeal, we recommend you file a petition while working with a review appraiser.
How is an appeal processed? After filing a timely appeal, you will be contacted by a review appraiser from the Department of Assessment and GIS who will examine the
appraisal and make a final determination. If you still disagree, a hearing before the Board of Equalization will be scheduled. The board reviews sales evidence submitted by you and the review appraiser, and sets a final value.
