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.
