Who must a person request a conference in writing from after receiving a notice of assessment?

Requesting a conference in writing after receiving a notice of assessment must be directed to the Assessment Review Officer of the Municipal and Highways State Taxes (MHST). This is because the Assessment Review Officer specializes in handling disputes and inquiries regarding tax assessments, ensuring that the taxpayer's concerns are addressed by the appropriate authority with the expertise to review and potentially revise the assessment.

The roles of the other options, while pertinent to the overall tax process, do not primarily involve the direct handling of assessment appeals. The Tax Review Officer may deal with broader tax policy issues, the Chief Appraiser typically oversees property evaluations and valuations, and the Tax Collector is primarily responsible for the collection of taxes rather than assessment disputes. Therefore, the right choice is to engage with the Assessment Review Officer, who has the designated authority to consider and respond to requests related to assessment notices.
