To appeal the appraised value of your watercraft bill, you will need to fill out the “Watercraft/Motor Assessment Appeal Form”. The completed appeal can then be submitted to our office by filling out the request ticket form linked below and attaching the appeal to the form. The Auditor will reply to your appeal within 30 days in the form of a letter in the mail.
If your appeal is approved and the bill is unpaid, you will receive an adjusted bill with the Auditor's letter. If the bill has been paid and the appeal is approved, you will receive a refund check for the difference from the Treasurer’s office 4-6 weeks after the appeal has been processed. Appealing your watercraft does not change the due date of your bill. Additionally, approved appeals also do not permanently change your watercraft value and must be requested annually.
Note that if you have multiple watercrafts to appeal, please save separate files for each individual watercraft you are appealing.
