Responsibilities

Composed of persons who are elected, the Board enables taxpayers to be heard by their peers at no expense. No fees are charged for the appeal process. Furthermore, taxpayers do not have to be represented by counsel. Created by State law, the Board holds important powers affecting both the Town and the taxpayer.

The Board of Assessment Appeals is an official municipal agency. It is designed to serve as an appeal body for taxpayers who believe that town or city assessors erred in the valuation of their properties or erroneously denied them exemptions. It is important to note that the board is not an assessing agency. It does not value taxable property; that is the function of the Assessor. Its purpose is best explained by the word "review" and as such serves independently of the Assessor.
