For purposes of section 420-a, the same forms may be used (except RP-420-a-Org replaces RP-420-b-Org). In the
alternative, the owner may submit proof of exempt status to the assessor in whatever form is mutually acceptable.

Application for exemption from county or school district taxes must be filed with the city or town assessor who prepares the
