About The September meeting of the Board of Assessment Appeals is scheduled for 6 pm on 9/14/2021 in town hall. Appeal applications are due by 3 pm on 9/14/2021.

The appeal application is listed on the right of this page. _______________________________________________________ Assessment Appeals: People sometimes disagree with the valuation the tax assessor places on their property, which determines the taxes they will pay. If that happens, your first step is to discuss it in person with the tax assessor. You can make an appointment by email or phone. If the discussion fails to settle the dispute, use the assessment appeal form on this page to bring it to the Board of Assessment Appeals. There is no fee for this appeal. A hearing will be scheduled to discuss the matter and the appellant will be notified by mail. The board has the authority to overturn decisions made by the assessor and to establish a new valuation if it sees fit. It does not have the authority to remove penalties for late filing or non-filing. If the landowner does not accept the board's decision, he or she has 2 months to appeal the decision to Superior Court. Hearings for real estate appeals are conducted by appointment only during the month of March (or April, if an extension is granted). Applications are available online or can be requested from the Assessors Office and must be filed in its entirety by February 20 (or March 20, if an extension has been granted.) Hearings for motor vehicle appeals are conducted during the month of September.
