not be taken during the virtual meeting, however if you disagree with the valuation or classification
of your property the first step is to contact the county assessor to discuss your concerns at
763.765.4900. It is assumed the assessor has properly valued and classified a property and the
burden of proof rests with the property owner who must present factual evidence to disprove the
assessor’s value or classification. This factual evidence can be submitted to the Board of Appeal and
