The term of these members is for three years beginning January 1, 2014.
The Board of Tax Equalization is responsible for hearing appeals on property values and exemptions.

After hearing evidence from both the taxpayer and the appraisal staff, the Board of Equalization renders a decision on the value of the property/exemption.
