To better understand your new assessment, we offer the following:
Generally, if the Assessor's estimate of the market value of your property reflects roughly the amount for which you could sell your property, then your assessment is fair. (1)
Taxable status date: The taxable status of real property according to its condition and ownership as of March 1st of each year.
Valuation date: All real property subject to taxation (that is assessed as of a March 1st taxable status date) is valued as of July 1st of the preceding year.
For purposes of the 2024 assessment roll, the taxable status date (condition and ownership of the property) is March 1, 2024 and the valuation date is July 1, 2023. The assessment of your home indicates the market value as of July 1, 2023. Restrictively, market changes after July 1, 2023 cannot be used in the 2024 assessments.
In summary, the 2024 assessments are valued at one hundred percent of market value as of July 1, 2023.
If you are assessed fairly, but you feel that your taxes are too high:
The assessor cannot assist you with tax matters, but only with matters pertaining to the assessed value of your property. (2)
If such a discussion does not result in a reduction in your assessment, and you still feel as though your assessment is too high, you may wish to contest your assessment. (3)
All complaint applications may be submitted by mail or by delivery to Town Hall no later than 4:45 p.m. on May 28, 2024.
One need not be present on grievance day to have their case heard, however all applications including all supporting documentation, must be received by the 4:45 p.m. deadline of May 28, 2024.
