Appeals Process:

If you feel your property tax is too high, you may file a protest with the Pike County Board of Equalization. The deadline to file for the upcoming year is April 30th.

In a reappraisal year, taxpayers are given 10 days to file an appeal after receiving written notice of change in valuation.

Upon your appeal, a field audit will be conducted by the Appraisal Department and the Board of Equalization will be advised of the appraiser's findings. A decision will be made at that time concerning the value of your property. You will be notified by mail and you may approve or disapprove the value. If you approve, this value will go into the tax roll for the next year.
If you disapprove, you will have a hearing before the Board of Equalization to present any information that could justify a change in value. Following this hearing, you will be notified of the decision of the Board of Equalization.

If, after this hearing you are still not satisfied, you may appeal to the Circuit Court.
In order to preserve your right to carry the appeal process to Circuit Court, taxes must be paid by December 31, or a bond filed in Circuit Court in double the amount of the taxes due.
