Taxpayer Information about Appeal Procedure

A. Who may file an application?

You may file an application if you are:

1. Assessed or subsequent owner of the property (acquiring title after December 31

)

2. Owner’s administrator or executor

3. Tenant paying rent who is obligated to pay more than one-half of the tax

4. Person owning or having an interest in or possession of the property; or

5. Mortgagee if the assessed owner has not applied.

In some cases, you must pay all or a portion of the tax before you can file. The owner, or a member of his/her

family with written authority, in the event the owner cannot attend, or an attorney representing the owner,

may be present at the hearing. If signed by an agent, attach a copy of written authorization to sign on behalf

of the taxpayer.

B. When and where application must be filed?

Your application must be filed with the Assessor’s Office on or before 90 days beginning with the first

installment payment on the actual tax bill mailed for the fiscal year is due. The actual tax bills are those issued

after the tax rate is set. Applications filed for omitted, revised or reassessed taxes must be filed within 90 days

of the date, or the revised tax bill, for those taxes mailed.

C. Payment of tax.

To avoid any loss of rights or additional charges, you should pay the tax assessed. If an abatement is granted

and you have already paid the entire year’s tax as abated, you will receive a refund of any overpayment.

These deadlines cannot be extended or waived by the assessor for ANY REASON. If your application is not

filed on time, you lose ALL rights to an abatement and the Assessor cannot BY LAW grant you one. AN

APPLICATION IS FILED WHEN RECEIVED BY THE ASSESSOR.
