APPENDIX 3 MD PROPERTY RECORDS AND REVENUE Mk LOU McKENNA Division Manager Director BRIAN DUCKLOW RAMSEY COUNTY WAYS TO APPEAL YOUR ESTIMATED MARKET VALUE THREE WAYS TO APPEAL THE ASSESSOR'S MARKET VALUE If you disagree with the Assessor's estimated market value, you may appeal to the Board of Equalization, you may file for an abatement, or you may file a petition in the Minnesota Tax Court. A brief explanation of ee appeals processes appears below. For more information, please cap 66 -2141 -aving your name, telephone number, and Parcel Identification Number, or come to Suite #848, Ramsey County Government Center West, 50 West Kellogg Boulevard, St. Paul. HOW TO FILE WITH THE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION The Board of Equalization was established by Minnesota State law to objectively evaluate taxpayer complaints regarding the current year's Estimated Market Value. Ramsey County Commissioners or their designees make up the Board which is required to meet during the last two weeks in June. Submit an appeal application (Form ASR 1679) which can be obtained from the County Assessor in Suite #848. (Please refer to your current valuation notice for filing deadline.) An unfavorable ruling by the Board may be appealed to Minnesota Tax Court. HOW TO FILE AN ABATEMENT The abatement process was established to allow taxpayers to appeal directly to the Assessor and the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners without the aid of an attorney or the need for litigation formalities. The abatement result may not be appealed. The following policy governs abatement applications in Ramsey County: Abatements must relate to the current year's taxes only, based on the Estimated Market Value of the previous year. It may not include more than the current year. An abatement application will only be accepted if an appeal was first made to the Board of Equalization, unless the applicant acquired ownership after January 2 of the value year in question. lover)
