2025 PVA Online Conferences closed May 19th, 2025.

The 2026 appeal window will open April 24th, 2026 at noon EDT and close May 18th, 2026 at 4pm EDT.

We do our best to maintain fair and equitable property assessments, but we don’t know every detail about your property. If you disagree with your property assessment we want you to know you have a right to appeal.

When the assessment of your property increases or decreases from the prior year,  the PVA will mail a reassessment notice to the mailing address on file for the property in late April. 2026 assessment values will also be posted on our website at noon EDT on April 24th, 2026.

You do not have to receive a reassessment notice or a revised assessment value in order to contest your property assessment. As a property owner, you have the right to contest your assessment each year.  By law, certain steps must be followed in the process. The PVA Online Conference is the required first step.  If you are not satisfied with the result of your Online Conference, you can then request to proceed to the next step of the appeal process, a hearing with the Local Board of Assessment Appeals.

For added convenience, the Jefferson County PVA requested and was granted an extended period for Jefferson County property owners to complete the first step of the appeal process: The Online Conference. The 2026 Jefferson County PVA Online Conferences will open at noon EDT on Friday April 24th and will close at 4pm EDT on May 18th, 2026. 

During that time, if you think your assessment does not represent the fair market value of your property as of January 1, by law, you have a right to appeal with the Jefferson County PVA by participating in the Online Conference process. Property owners do not need to receive an assessment notice or revised value in order to file an appeal, you can appeal the current year’s assessment during each annual Online Conference appeal window.
