Property and Business assessments are determined on annual basis. The values are based on market values with the exception of some types of property. If you disagree with the value of the assessment, you can appeal their assessment which is included on your joint assessment/tax notice. The amount of the annual taxes on the notice or municipal services received can not be appealed. When reviewing your assessment the first step is to compare your assessment to other similar properties. This can be done at Town Hall, but you do require the addresses of the properties you are comparing. The administration staff can answer many of your questions, however we can refer you to our Assessors for additional information. If you are still not satisfied with the explanation, your written appeal must be filed with:
within 30 days of the mailing date of the Tax Notice. This date is located on the top right corner of the notice. A fee of $25 per assessment for residential and farmland or $75 per assessment for other types of assessment must accompany the appeal form. This form is available at Town Hall or through the download below . This fee may be refunded to the appellant if the appeal is withdrawn prior to the appeal being heard by the Board, and will be refunded if the Board rules in favor of the appellant.
