Form Boe 64 0075 1 PDF Details

The BOE 64 0075 1 form serves as a critical vehicle for taxpayers in Spokane County, Washington, to challenge the assessed valuation of their real property by the county assessor. This petition to the Spokane County Board of Equalization enables property owners to seek a revision of property valuations as detailed in the Assessment Roll, which has direct implications for the property taxes payable. The necessity for taxpayers to engage with this form arises from discrepancies they perceive between the assessor’s valuation and what they believe to be the true and fair market value of their property. The procedural requirements set forth in the form, such as deadlines and the necessity of attaching the assessor's notice if filing after July 1, guide taxpayers through the process of lodging an appeal. Comprehensively filled sections demand information including but not limited to the petitioner’s contact details, the assessor's valuation alongside the petitioner's estimate, specific grievances regarding the valuation, and any authorization of representation through power of attorney. Additional requirements, such as the obligation to prove the assessor’s valuation inaccurate by clear, cogent, and convincing evidence, underscore the rigor expected in this process. The form further elaborates on acceptable grounds for appeal, emphasizing market value as the sole consideration and dismissing arguments based on tax amount or personal hardship as insufficient. With the inclusion of directives for presenting evidence, such as comparative sales data, and procedural tips for filing, the BOE 64 0075 1 form embodies a structured approach to ensuring equitable property tax assessments.

Instructions For Petition to the County Board of Equalization

for Review of Real Property Valuation Determination

All information in boxes 1 – 5 must be completed (if applicable). The petition must be signed and dated. Without this information, your Petition for Review will not be considered

complete.

1.Your account or parcel number appears on your determination notice, value change notice, and tax statement. If you are appealing multiple parcels, you must submit separate petitions for each parcel.

2.Self-explanatory.

3.You may appeal the assessed value of the property. The assessed value is based on the true and fair value of the property.

Check the box if you are requesting the information the assessor used to value the property.

Appeal of Assessed Value

To successfully appeal the Assessed Value of the property, you must show by clear, cogent, and convincing evidence the value established by the assessor is incorrect. In Section 4, you must list the reasons why you believe the Assessed Value is incorrect.

4.List the specific reasons for the appeal. Statements that simply indicate the assessor’s valuation is too high or the amount of tax is excessive are not sufficient (WAC 458-14-056). The reasons must specifically indicate why you believe the assessed value does not represent the true and fair value of the property.

Note any other issues you believe are relevant to the value of your property. If your appeal concerns a comparison of your assessment relative to assessments of other properties, the Board may determine if all of the properties are assessed at their true and fair value. The Board is limited to determining the market value of property. Therefore, any adjustment to the assessed value of your property or other properties must be based on evidence of the true and fair value of the property.

5.Indicate if you are acting under a written Power of Attorney. This section need not be completed if the agent is an attorney-at-law.

Sign and date the petition.

6.–10. Self-explanatory.

Additional information to support your estimate of value may be provided either with this petition or prior to seven business days before the hearing. You must also provide a copy of any additional information to the assessor.

The petition must be filed or postmarked by

July 1 of the current assessment year or 30 days after the date of mailing of the change of value

or other determination notice. If filing after July 1, a copy of the determination notice must be attached to this petition.

One original signed petition (including all attachments) should be filed with the Spokane County Board of Equalization.
