Administrative appeal to the Tax Commissioner; local assessing officer’s reply; new issues in taxpayer’s appeal

The local assessing officer has 30 days from the date of the notice of receipt of an appeal to:

# 1.

File a written reply to the Tax Commissioner with additional information.

# 2.

File a written request to address new issues raised by the taxpayer. If a written request to address new issues is filed, the appeal shall return to the local assessing officer to address new issues. Whenever an appeal is returned to the local assessing officer because the local assessing officer has made a written request to address new issues, the local appeals process has started again. At this point, the local assessing officer must make a new determination that can then be appealed to the Tax Commissioner as described in 23VAC10-500-720.

# 3.

The Tax Commissioner may request that the local assessing officer make a new Final Local Determination on any issues raised for the first time on appeal. The local assessing officer, however, is not required to make a new Final Local Determination but rather can provide relevant information to the Tax Commissioner who will then make a final written determination. If the local assessing officer issues a new Final Local Determination, that determination can then be appealed to the Tax Commissioner as described in 23VAC10-500-720.
