You must complete the Board of Equalization (BOE) application explaining why you feel your assessment is incorrect, and you must include supporting documentation. Follow these guidelines to submit your appeal: 
 

Appeal applications, including all written evidence, must be delivered to the BOE or postmarked by July 1. If the filing deadline falls on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, the deadline is the following business day.  All parts of the appeal must be neatly typed and submitted to the BOE as an original plus four copies.

• No additonal evidence will be accepted at the public hearing.
• If the taxpayer, or in the case of corporations, etc, the officer, is not preparing and will not be present during the appeal, an original letter of authorization, duly notarized, must be included in the appeal package.
• The Board of Equalization is a body appointed by the Circuit Court.  It is completely independent of the City of Manassas, Commissioner of Revenue, Real Estate Assessments division.  As such, Letters of Authorization (L.O.A.) are not transferrable between the two parties.  The Board requires its own original L.O.A.  Faxes, facsimiles and emails are not acceptable on the original filing, but are acceptable for the Board’s required additional copies of the original submission.

 

Note:  Incomplete applications will be returned to the sender and the July 1^st deadline not extended due to same.
