What does a taxpayer need to provide to initiate an appeal to the Board of Equalization?

To initiate an appeal to the Board of Equalization, a taxpayer is required to submit a completed application form. This form typically serves as the official notice of the taxpayer's intent to appeal the assessment or ruling that they are disputing. It may require specific information regarding the property in question, the reason for the appeal, and any supporting evidence the taxpayer intends to present.

Providing this application is crucial, as it establishes the grounds of the appeal and ensures that the Board of Equalization can adequately prepare for the case. The form acts as a formal request for review and enables the Board to process the appeal through its established procedures. Other options, while potentially relevant in other contexts, do not fulfill the necessary requirement for initiating the appeal process with the Board of Equalization.
