What’s in it

AI summary Owners of commercial and industrial properties may be blocked from protesting their property assessments if they have filed protests for the same property during any of the previous three years. This rule does not apply if there is a math error, a change in ownership, or if the assessor suggests a protest is necessary. The same restriction also applies to protests regarding assessment adjustments made by the department of revenue.1
