If January 15 falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the appeal may be filed on the next business day.

(b)The unsecured tax roll which was assessed on or after May 1 and on or before December 15 who believes that his or her property was assessed at a higher value than another property whose use is identical and whose location is comparable may appeal the assessment, on or before the following January 15, to the county board of equalization. If January 15 falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the appeal may be filed on the next business day.

The county assessor may, before providing such a form, require the person requesting the form to provide the parcel number or other identification number of the property that is the subject of the planned appeal.

3. If the board finds that an inequity exists in the assessment of the value of the land or the value of the improvements, or both, the board may add to or deduct from the value of the land or the value of the improvements, or both, either of the appellant’s property or of the property to which it is compared, to equalize the assessment.
