Orange County Accepting Applications for Two Board of Equalization Alternate Positions Make a Difference, Get Involved!
What is the Board of Equalization?
What would I have to do? The Board of Equalization (BOE) is responsible for reviewing real estate assessment appeals to determine if a property was assessed inconsistently with comparable properties. If they agree that it was, they are able to “equalize” the assessment to correct the issue. The BOE is appointed by the Judge of the Circuit Court at the recommendation of the Board of Supervisors. Chapter 32, Article 14 of Title 58.1 of the Code of Virginia delineates the full powers and responsibilities of local boards of equalization. If appointed, alternate members would serve on the BOE when regular members are unavailable or must recuse themselves from a vote. Alternates are encouraged to attend all meetings, but are not required to do so. Successful applicants will be required to attend a Virginia Department of Taxation training session. BOE members are compensated for their service.
