Governs appeals of revenue-related decisions by state or county agencies before the Board of Tax Appeals.
Sets out deadlines (typically within 30 days), petition content requirements, and filing procedures.

Includes filing guidelines (online, mail, in-person), service protocols, representation rules, agency response times (30 days), hearing procedures, and final order issuance.
