REAL ESTATE APPEALS
Assessments are based on the full market value of the property as of the revaluation date of October 1, 2006. Market fluctuations since then will not effect the assessment until the next general revaluation, currntly scheduled for 2011. Appeals of that 2006 value may be made to the Board of Assessment Appeals by filing an application by February 20, 2009 at the Assessor's Office. An appointment will be scheduled for a hearing during the month of March.
