The first step in appealing your property tax value is to appeal to the county Board of Equalization & Review ["BER"]. Each county has its own BER. So, one obviously appeals to the BER in the county where the property is located.  In order for the appeal to be timely, it must be filed by the "date of adjournment" of the BER.  The date of adjournment is a somewhat artificial date, as the BER will continue to meet and hear appeals after its "adjournment date." Nonetheless, to be timely, an appeal has to be filed by the adjournment date.

If you are unsatisfied with the value placed by the county tax office on your property, there is an appeal process by which you can challenge the county value. The first step in this process is an appeal to the local Board of Equalization and Review. If still not satisfied with the result, you can next appeal to the Property Tax Commission. The PTC sits as the statewide board of equalization and hears appeals from all county BERs.
