Grievance Day will be Wednesday, May 29th, 2024.
— All property owners are strongly encouraged to speak with the Town Assessor prior to Grievance Day about their assessment concerns in an effort to resolve any issues without appearing before the BAR. (Contact details for the Assessor are below.)
— The Board of Assessment Review (“BAR”) will meet on Wednesday, May 29th, from 4:00pm-8:00pm at Ancram Town Hall.
— It is not necessary to appear before the BAR to have a grievance application considered.
Procedures for Filing a Grievance:
— DOCUMENTATION SHOULD BE SUBMITTED IN ADVANCE: All property owners are strongly encouraged to submit their grievance application prior to Grievance Day, including a detailed cover letter, the required grievance application form, and supporting documentation.
— Grievance applications should be submitted to the Town Clerk and Town Assessor, and must contain a NYS grievance application form, which can be found at this link https://www.tax.ny.gov/pdf/current_forms/orpts/rp524_fill_in.pdf. (Contact information for the Town Clerk and Town Assessor are provided below.)
— If a property owner files a grievance application on Grievance Day they can address the BAR, however the Town Assessor will request an adjournment of the BAR for that application in order to have time to review the application and provide comments. A second BAR meeting will be held, if necessary, within one week.
