Before the end of the evening, taxpayers will have an opportunity to work with staff from the Board of Review to address their specific questions and concerns. The goal of the Board is to help taxpayers file a successful tax appeal in a time when the economy is putting added pressures to home and business owners.

The event is free to the public and there is no fee to appeal at the Board of Review. Taxpayers are asked to bring a copy of their most recent tax bill.
