Helpful Suggestions 

At Open Book Meeting: The assessment roll is required to be open for inspection for a minimum of two hours and the assessor present to discuss any issues.

When you meet with the assessor, ask questions to help understand the assessment process and how your assessment was determined. Ask to see the records for your property and to explain how your assessment was determined. Make sure the size, age, condition, number of bathrooms and other physical characteristics of your property are correct. Also, if you know of recent sales of property in your area, tell the assessor. An informal discussion with the assessor can often resolve a problem before bringing an appeal. 

At Board of Review Meeting

If you have decided to appeal, you must file the objection form with the town clerk prior to or during the first two hours of the board’s first scheduled meeting. If you do not file a completed objection form, the BOR may refuse to act on your appeal.

As part of your appeal, you must present evidence proving the assessor’s value is wrong or your assessment will not be changed.
