If you are unable to upload your Petition in PDF format, please do NOT submit this form, and do NOT attempt to submit documents by any other electronic means. Instead, choose one of the alternate filing options provided at the bottom of this form.

ATTENTION: Before uploading your PDFs, make sure your Petition is complete with all the required sections properly filled in, including a handwritten signature. Do NOT forget a copy of your value notice.

Complete appeals will be given processing priority. Incomplete appeals cannot be considered by the Board per RCW 84.40.038, and may be dismissed.

NOTE: Merely submitting your value notice and/or a letter or statement that you wish to appeal does not constitute a valid appeal. If you do not submit a properly completed PETITION with your Value Notice, you do NOT have a valid appeal.
