DESCRIPTION BOARD OF ASSESSMENT APPEALS

 

The Board of Assessment Appeals meets in September to hear appeals related to the assessment of motor vehicles.  Meetings in March are designed for hearing appeals and adjustments to property assessments, including additions and subtractions of current assessments.

 

Request forms for hearing appeals are available in both the assessors' and town clerk's offices. The request must be written and filed by February 20 in order to be heard in March. Appeals are made in person or by a designated agent.   Members of the Board of Assessment Appeals work part time, checking and updating the Grand List, field cards, summary cards, and property transfers.
