Most appeals are decided on submitted documents without a formal hearing. Hearings, when held, occur at the Board of Review or PTAB and may be in person, virtual, or (for PTAB) occasionally by phone. PTAB hearings are more formal and may include testimony and questions. Bring comps, photos, appraisals, and (commercial) income/expense statements.
