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.
