WHAT IF I DISAGREE WITH THE ASSESSOR’S VALUE OF MY PROPERTY?
As a taxpayer, you are required by law to give correct information about your property to the assessor’s office. If you have done this, you have the right to question the value placed on your property.
If you believe your property is valued too high, you should visit the assessor’s office and talk about it. Be ready to show proof that supports your opinion. The staff will gladly answer your questions and explain how they determined the value.
The assessor’s office depends on property owners to provide accurate information. You can help by making sure the details about your property are correct.
If you still disagree after speaking with the assessor, you may appeal your assessment to the Bossier Parish Board of Review.
If the Board agrees with the assessor after hearing your appeal, you may then appeal to the Louisiana State Tax Commission.
If the Commission also agrees with the assessor, you may then hire an attorney and file a lawsuit against the assessor’s office.
