Appeal Information

Real Estate and Personal Property Appeals

For property owners wishing to file an appeal to the Board of Assessment Appeals, applications must be received by the Board on or before February 22, at 5PM. The appeal form must be completely filled out with all the information requested.  If the property owner cannot appear on the date or time the appointment is made, someone else can appear on their behalf with a letter of authorization. 

Hearings
The Board will hold hearings during the month of March unless an extension is obtained in a revaluation year..  The Board has the authority to increase, decrease or make no changes to the assessment. Applicants will be notified of the Board’s decision by mail one week after the Board’s decision.

Superior Court

Applicants who feel aggrieved by the Board or are dissatisfied with their decision may appeal to the Superior Court in their jurisdiction within 60 days of the notice from the Board.

Motor Vehicle Assessment Appeals

Automobile owners, who wish to appeal the assessment on their vehicles, may appear at the September meeting of the Board of Assessment Appeals. The appeal form must be completely filled out with all the information requested.

The meeting will be held on Thursday, September 10th, 2021 from 5:00 to 7:00PM in the Gisborne Room, located on the first floor of Town Hall.  No appointment is necessary.

Since motor vehicles are revalued annually, a subsequent application to the BAA must be made each year that the owner is not in agreement with the assessed value.
