Fairfax County, Virginia

A formal appeal must be received by the Board of Equalization (BOE), an independent body separate from the Dept of Tax Administration, by June 1. If June 1 falls on a weekend or county holiday, the deadline moves to the next business day. An earlier, optional informal appeal can be filed with the Dept of Tax Administration by April 1, not required before appealing to the BOE, but can resolve some cases faster.
