This roll contains preliminary property values for the upcoming year and plays a crucial role in determining future property taxes. Homeowners are encouraged to review their assessments carefully and ensure the information listed reflects current property conditions and values.

If a property owner believes their assessment is inaccurate or unfair, there is an opportunity to file a grievance. The Board of Assessment Review will hold an open session on Tuesday, May 27th, from 9:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M., to hear formal complaints. This is the only scheduled day for such hearings, so timely action is essential.

“Completed RP-524 complaint forms with supporting documentation must be submitted either in person, via mail, or Drop Box to the Assessor’s Office on or before May 27th. Once a properly completed complaint form is received the complainant will be contacted to schedule an appointment for a hearing with the Board of Assessment Review. Grievances may be filed until 8:00 P.M. on May 27th.”

Grievance submissions begin May 1st and must include sufficient evidence to support claims of incorrect assessment. This can include recent appraisals, photos, or data showing inconsistencies in the property record.

This annual process allows residents to ensure transparency and fairness in property tax evaluations. For many, it offers a rare chance to actively participate in shaping the amount they will pay in taxes for the year ahead.
Town officials urge the public to take advantage of the available resources and not wait until the last minute to review their assessments. With only one day designated for formal grievances, early preparation is key.
