The Board of Review is comprised of three to six members and one to three alternates appointed by the City Council. The Board of Review is created by the state statutes that govern assessment appeals, and Section 9.6 of the Novi City Charter. The Board reviews property assessments as set by the City Assessor and hears appeals by individual property owners; then reduces, adds to or denies said appeal. A certification of the assessment role is required by the Board of Review per the state statute.
