Step 5: Property Assessment Appeal Board (PAAB) and District Court

To get to this level, you must have first gone to the Board of Review for that year.

NOTE:  Before going on to District Court or the State Appeal Board you MUST have first filed a petition to the Board of Review during the protest filing dates April 2 to April 30.

If not satisfied with the decision of the Board of Review, there are two more formal appeal options:

  • Appeal to the State Appeal Board within twenty (20) days after May 31 or from the date that the Board adjourns, whichever is the latest. Visit the State Appeal Board at: http://paab.iowa.gov
  • Can appeal to District Court within twenty (20) days after May 31 or from the date that the Board adjourns, whichever is the latest.
