Guidelines to file a Tax Assessment Appeal

File a Tax Assessment Appeal Online

A paper appeal can be printed from the links below. Tax payers must also certify when filing their paper appeal that copies of the appeal will be served by the tax payer to the tax assessor and clerk of the town in which the property is located.

Paper Appeals must be physically in the office by close of business (4pm) on April 1st. Postmarked mailings will not be accepted if they do not arrive by the April 1st deadline. If April 1st happens to be a Holiday where the offices are closed or falls on a Saturday/Sunday the appeal filing deadline is extended to the following business day. (Same applies to the May 1st deadline as well).

Added and Omitted Assessment Appeals

If a property increases in value through new construction or added improvements to existing structures, or a farm is no longer qualified for special farmland assessment rates or if a tax-exempt property becomes taxable and the change occurs after the applicable deadline for regular assessments, the property owner will receive a notice or tax bill indicating an Added, Omitted, Omitted Added or Rollback Assessment.

The deadline for filing appeals of these assessment is December 1st at 4:00 PM, or 30 days after the mailing of the tax bill by the municipal tax collector. If December 1st happens to be a Saturday/Sunday the appeal filing deadline is extended to the following business day Only these assessments can be appealed at this time.  If your regular assessment is too high, you must wait until February 2023 to file an appeal.

The following forms and instructions are used only for Added, Omitted, Omitted Added
