Is the Mobile Office Really Helpful?
The Franklin County Auditor’s Office and the Board of Revision seem to be offering a good public service with these mobile offices. But, as an attorney, it is interesting that a government agency is providing this kind of assistance to people with whom it may become an adversary. After all, the audit sets the value of your property. And, once the property tax appeal is filed, the property owner is required to prove the value to the Board of Revision. If proof is not provided, the Board of Revision will deny the complaint.
