If you have recently purchased a home, or had your home reassessed and are surprised by the assessment,  don't lose hope-there is an appeal process. While the City of Grand Rapids requires documented proof and details on your home, the time spent on the appeal could save you big.

To start the process, please view a copy of the necessary appeal form at:

 Click underneath the Assessed Home Value Appeal Link. Once you have all the relevant information gathered, send in the form by February 13, 2009 to:

Office of City Assessor

300 Monroe Ave NW
