And also, the time for filing an appeal and that you can only appeal the current year's valuations. Valuations are set long before tax rates are. All taxing entities turn in budgets to the county commissioners which is then divided into the valuations AFTER protest time to determine tax rates. These rates are then applied to the valuations which results in your tax amount.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300630627319876005.post-83244402083560930212014-11-20T18:19:21.987-06:002014-11-20T18:19:21.987-06:00Dear Anonymous:

The time to actually file property valuation protests are between June 1 and June 30 of each year. You also are only allowed to appeal the current year's valuations, NOT the taxes.
