What is a Property Assessment Review Panel?
A Property Assessment Review Panel or PARP is the first level of appeal for property assessments in British Columbia. Complainants file their complaint with the British Columbia Assessment Authority to have a 30 minute hearing before a Panel.
Property Assessment Review Panel members receive their appointments from the Minister of Finance. So what happens when a PARP hears a property assessment complaint and what do I need to do to prepare for my presentation to the Panel?
