County Appeals Board Receives Extension

BOONE, Iowa---Boone County has received a maximum extension to complete the property tax assessment appeal process. The announcement this week by the Iowa Department of Revenue will now allow the local Appeals Board time to complete the task of dealing with more than 800 appeals. By law, the Board receives appeals by May 5th and needs to complete the process by May 31st. The maximum extension allows the process to continue until July 15th, and that's what was approved. A number of Boone County residents filed appeals following the reassessment of residential properties last year.
