The equalization appeal is designed to address not only valuation and classification questions, but also whether or not your property is valued equally with all other similar properties in the county. A payment under protest is filed after you receive a tax statement from the County Treasurer. It is filed at the time taxes are paid. It is another procedure for appealing the value of your property. Property owners may appeal the value on their property only once during any tax year.
