Board of Assessment Appeals - Automotive Appeals

This hearing is your opportunity to present information (testimony and documents) that you would like the Board to consider when reviewing your Motor Vehicle appeal.

Board members will ask questions, review (and obtain) your supplied documents and will send out a Decision notice following the hearing. 

If you have questions, the proper procedure is to present the question to the Board and ask for clarification. Proper hearing procedure allows the hearing to focus on the issue at hand and prevents inappropriate comments/arguments dialogue. Respect for all participants in the hearing process, the Board members and most especially respect for you is expected.

After the Hearing

At the end of the testimony and the questions by the Board, your hearing will be closed. If the Board asks you to provide additional information this must be done in written form and submitted by mail or fax. If you find there is any need to contact the Board or make any inquiries regarding your case, it must be done in writing. Board members cannot have ex-parte communication (communication outside of the formal presence of both parties). Any communication must be in writing so that it can be made a part of the official record. This is to protect your rights and the integrity of the hearing process. The Board will answer your inquiry in writing, as there must be a formal record of all communication.

The Decision

Board members will review the testimony, documentation and laws applicable to your appeal and make a decision. The decision of the Board will be mailed to you approximately 7 to 10 days following your hearing, unless your case is being held open for the submission of additional information.  Please be sure your contract information is legible and complete on all petitions and documentation related to your case!
