Spencer. Libby & Powell Funeral Home, The Dalles, was in charge of arrangements. Owners who feel their prop erty has been overvalued have the right to appeal. There are several steps in the appeal process, says Robyn L. Godwin, director of the Oregon Department of Revenue. The first step is an appeal to the county board of equialization. If unsuccessful, that may be followed by appeals to the revenue department and then to the Oregon Tax Court and Oregon Supreme Court. In certain cases, the owner may appeal to the Small Claims Division of the Oregon Tax Court instead of the revenue department. In any appeal. Godwin says, the key issue is the market value of the property. Many people mistakenly believe they can appeal the amount of tax levied on their property. Boards of equalization began hearing appeals on non-residential properties May 11. Appeal forms are available from county clerks and county assessors. A free information circular, published by the Oregon Department of Revenue, ex plains the appeals process in more detail. The circular. "Property Value Appeal Pro cedure," is available from most county assessors or by writing to: Publications. Ore gon Department of Revenue. Room 14B. State Office Build ing. Salem. OR 97310. Rep.
