Two separate agencies at different stages. The Assessor's Office sets the initial assessed value, maintains records, and offers the first appeal opportunity. The Board of Review is an independent agency that reviews appeals and may adjust the value (second level). You can appeal at both during your township's windows, and some cases continue to PTAB.
