A Small Claims case begins by advising the Tribunal in writing that you wish to appeal. The Tribunal's
Rules of Practice and Procedure provide detailed instructions about filing an appeal. To assist you, the Tribunal has also prepared
petition forms for your use. Some forms are available online. To guarantee that you have met all the requirements of our Rules, the Tribunal recommends that you attach copies of the final notices of assessment being appealed (for non-property tax appeals) or copies of the Assessment Change Notice and the most recent winter and summer Property Tax Bills for each parcel of property under appeal (for property tax appeals). The Tribunal will consider these documents with your petition and will use them to supplement the information provided in your petition.
In a Small Claims tax matter, there are two ways to file a petition: you may file a petition directly or you may write a letter requesting an appeal and a petition form will be sent to you. Filing a petition directly is the quickest way to get your appeal processed. You may obtain a
petition form online. If you choose to write a letter, please make sure to include the parcel number or parcel numbers of the property being appealed and information on whether you protested the property's assessed and taxable values to your local Board of Review. You can check whether your petition has been received by using the Tribunal's Online Docket Card Look-up on the Tribunal's Website.
