You MUST include a copy of the Value Notice for each parcel you are appealing (only top/front portion with name, address, parcel number and values is needed).

ATTENTION: Before uploading your PDFs, make sure your Petition is filled in completely with all the required sections properly completed, including a hand-written signature (not typed in a script font). Ensure your Petition is legible and clear (not blurry, too dark or too light) and does not have the format altered in any way. Do NOT forget to include a copy of your Value Notice.
