Board of Assessment Review

This Board is the hearing body for residents who file grievances regarding the assessed value placed on their property. After hearing the grievance through the formal hearing process, the Board of Assessment Review has the authority to accept or deny the taxpayer’s grievance. When accepting an assessment grievance, the Board does have the authority to set a new assessment on the property. Appointed by the Town Board, the Board of Assessment Review consists of residents who have a general knowledge of property values in the community and does not include the assessor or staff from the Assessor’s Office.

All meetings are held in the Town Hall. Legal notices are published in the Hamlin Clarkson Herald. See Minutes & Agenda.
