The Board of Review is an appeal process to review property values, not tax bills.  The Board of Review has no jurisdiction over the millage rates that are multiplied against taxable values in order to calculate the tax bill.  The year 2018 tentative equalization ratio is 50%, and the estimated multiplier is 1.0000 for all property classifications.
