Board of County Commissioners

County Board of Equalization

What is the County Board of Equalization?
In Douglas County, the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) sits as the County Board of Equalization (CBOE).  The CBOE is the second level of appeal following the Douglas County Assessor Protest each year. A taxpayer may choose to appeal the decision of the Assessor’s office to the CBOE. Hearings are scheduled starting September 25 and will conclude no later than October 25. All CBOE appeals are due September 16, 2024.

The BOCC appoints hearing officers to preside over each hearing. Property owners and the Assessor’s office each have an opportunity to present their evidence to the Hearing Officer and they make decisions based on the evidence presented at the hearing. Written appeals can be appealed as soon as the Notice of Determination is released from the Assessor’s Office. The online scheduler will open on August 21, 2024.

If you are satisfied with the CBOE decision, the process ends there. If not, there are three options to appeal to the next level: Binding Arbitration; the Board of Assessment Appeals (BAA); or the District Court.

Online Appeals are open for uploading and viewing documents. The deadline for filing online appeals is September 16, 2024.

In order to file an appeal online or in writing, you will need the Account Number and the Appeal Number which can be found on the Assessor’s Notice of Determination (NOD), which will be mailed out on August 15, 2024. NODs and the Appeal Summary are available on the Assessor’s website on the Property Details page within the Documents tab.

CBOE hearings will be held by telephone or computer using Douglas County’s teleconferencing program, Microsoft Teams.  Instructions to access the hearing will follow by a separate e-mail delivered at least three business days prior to the hearing. Once hearings are scheduled, we are unable to reschedule. Please call 303-660-7302 with any CBOE questions.
