Appeals Process

Assessment appeals should first be directed to your Assessor and then to the local Board of Assessment Appeals.  Applications for appeal must be submitted no later than 20 days after the signing of the Grand List.

Meetings for appeals for Real Property and Personal Property, and Supplemental Motor Vehicle assessments are held one month after the signing of the Grand List.  In the month of September meetings are held for appeals relating to Motor Vehicle assessments only.

Personal appearance before the Board of Assessment Appeals is required in order for the Board to consider the appeal.  If you are unable to appear in person, you may give written authorization for someone to appear on your behalf as your agent.  All documentation substantiating your appeal should be presented during the meeting.

Any person claiming to be aggrieved by the action of the BOARD OF ASSESSMENT APPEALS may, within two months from the time of such action, make application to the Superior Court.  (60 days from the date of decision letter.)
