The Board of Review is a statutorily required local board charged with the duty of correcting any errors in property assessment that it determines have been made. It is a quasi-judicial body whose duty is to hear sworn oral testimony regarding assessed values and to decide, based on that testimony, whether an individual has proven the Assessor’s valuation incorrect.
