GRIEVANCE DAY (JUNE 15, 2021) Hearings Will Be Streamed Live on Facebook (click here).
Filing a Grievance--GRIEVANCE DAY IS JUNE 15, 2021:
For 2021, the Assessment Office officially accepts grievances between June 1st and June 15th (not before or after). The deadline to file is June 15, 2021, by no later than 8:00 pm (emails and regular mail must be received by that date/time).
~ Please keep in mind that when you are challenging your assessment, you need to ask yourself, "could I sell my home for what it is assessed at?" Also, you are contesting your assessment and not your taxes.
~ Click here for a fillable Grievance Form (NYS Complaint on Real Property Assessment RP-524). This Grievance Form has been partially pre-populated for your convenience and includes detailed instructions on how to complete the form. For additional information please visit our "Is Your Property Assessment Fair" page.
~ For sales data to support a residential grievance, please refer to the Town's Sales Books (click here for sales data).

· Regular Mail
