Local Board of Appeal and Equalization Looking g to 2 2020 a and b beyond • Because of increasing appeal counts and uncertainty of future appeals in addition to knowing we already can’t accommodate the volume of appeals, we have to look at alternatives for the future Local Boards. • Due to the large number of appeals we are at least one month behind in the next cycle of our work which is the quintile revaluation. This work will begin immediately following the HCBAE. 17
