"Typical cut" is the median drop among values that came down. Informal review with the assessor comes first; owners who aren't satisfied go on to a hearing before the Board of Equalization and Review, so the same home can appear at both levels.
What this means if you're thinking of appealing
- Check the record firstA wrong square footage or bedroom count is the easiest kind of appeal to win, and the assessor can fix a factual error in any year.
- Start with the informal reviewIt's quicker than a formal hearing, and if you're not satisfied you can still take it to the Board afterward.
- Bring sales, not feelingsRecent sales of similar homes near yours are the evidence the board weighs. A higher tax bill alone isn't a reason it can act on.
- Know it can go up2% of decisions here raised the value. Past results don't predict yours.

- Years with fewer than 10 decisions at a level are left out; a percentage of a handful of appeals isn't a result. Withdrawn appeals aren't counted as decided.
These are Warren County's numbers about past appeals, not a prediction for any home and not an opinion of any property's value.
