What your assessed value means here

Nebraska — assessed at 100% of actual (market) value (Neb. Rev. Stat. §77-201).

Can the board raise your assessment?

Yes. The Douglas County Board of Equalization can raise your assessment on your own protest, not only lower it. That is the risk you take by filing, and it is why the case has to be worth making before you file it.

What a board actually weighs

The Douglas County Board of Equalization decides what your property was worth on the valuation date, so recent comparable sales carry the case, not the size of the bill. The Nebraska guide covers the evidence.
