• The board may find instances of undervalued properties. The board must notify the <br />owner of the property that the value is going to be raised. The property owner may <br />then appear before the board if they so wish. <br />It is the primary duty of each local board to examine the assessment record to see that <br />all taxable property in the assessment district has been properly placed upon the list <br />and valued by the assessor. The local boards dc not have the authority to address <br />exemption issues. Only the county assessor has the authority to exempt property. <br />A taxpayer may appear in person, by council, or written conununication to present his <br />or her objection to the board. The focus of the appeal must center on the factors <br />influencing the estimated market value or classification placed on the property. <br />All changes will be entered into the assessment books by the county assessor’s office. <br />Before adjourning, the local board should prepare an official list of the changes. The <br />law requires that the changes be listed on a separate form. All assessments that have <br />been increased or decreased should be shown as prescribed on the fonn along with <br />their market values. The record must be signed and dated by the members of the <br />Local Board of Appeal and Equalization. <br />The Hennepin County Board of Appeal and Equalization begins meeting on; <br />June 13,2005 <br />All appointments must be scheduled no later than June 6,2005 by calling: <br />(612) 348-7050 <br />1
