What happens if the Assessor denies the Abatement Petition or if the taxpayer does not agree to the Assessor’s recommendation?
If the petition is recommended for denial by the Assessor, it is forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners. Hearings are scheduled before the BOCC to allow the taxpayer an opportunity to present information in support of the abatement petition. The BOCC schedules a hearing and sends notice of hearing with at least seven days prior notice to the taxpayer. Depending on the complexity of the issue(s), a hearing officer may substitute for the BOCC. After the hearing the BOCC will notify the taxpayer of the BOCC’s decision.
