Members must be "owners of property assessed for taxes in the City".
Purpose: "The Board shall examine, review, and correct the assessment roll...of its own motion, or on sufficient cause being shown by a person. The board of Review shall have the same powers and perform like duties in all respects as are, by general law, conferred upon and required of Boards of Review in Townships."

MARCH BOARD OF REVIEW
Appeal Hearings:
If upon receiving your Assessment Change Notice you disagree with the value of your property or the classification you may schedule an appeal hearing with the March Board of Review or deliver a written appeal, attach evidence you wish considered and a completed L-4035 form prior to the last day of the Board of Review. Dates and times are listed on the Assessment Change Notice, mailed each year near the end of February.
***Please note the Board of Review is an appeal process***
The March Board of Review is in session to hear valuation and classification appeals. Board has no jurisdiction over millage rates that are multiplied against taxable values in the tax billing process.
All appeals must be accompanied by a completed L-4035 Form “Petition to the Board of Review” in order for your appeal to be valid. This form requires a signature, opinion of value, and your reason for appeal. It is recommended that a detailed explanation, an appraisal and/or other documents be provided to support your appeal. The L-4035 will be provided by the Assessing Office or it is available online at Michigan.gov.
