The Assessing Department has several dates set by law to complete certain activities.

Assessing Notice - A Notice of Assessment is sent out for each property every year at least 14 days prior to the March Board of Review.  This is usually sometime in the last week of February.

March Board of Review - This board meets every year in March to hear property value appeals/protests from property owners as well as hear and act on poverty exemptions and disabled veterans exemptions.  The Board of Review shall meet on the second Monday in March for the purpose of hearing taxpayer appeals. The governing body of a Township may authorize an alternative starting date for this meeting, either the Tuesday or the Wednesday following the second Monday in March.  Laketon Township holds the March Board of Review on two days, one day from 9am to 3pm and one day from 3pm to 9pm, by appointment.  This is the only time you may appeal/protest your property value (SEV).  If you do not appeal your value to the March Board of Review, you are not able to take your appeal to the tax tribunal.

July Board of Review - The July Board meets on the Tuesday following the third Monday in July if there is business to conduct. Only appeals regarding qualified errors of the roll, poverty exemptions and disabled veterans exemptions are heard in July.
