Supporting Documentation (REQUIRED)
The Board strives to give full and fair consideration to every grievance; however, it cannot do so without information from the property owner to support their complaint. The following types of supporting documentation are helpful in determining your property’s market value and should be provided with your grievance complaint form, if applicable:
- A recent sale of the property (copy of closing statement).
- A recent listing of the property showing the asking price, time on the market and any offers made.
- Recent sales of similar properties in your neighborhood. Information regarding recent sales of properties is available in the Assessment Office and on the Town website. Click here
- A recent appraisal of the property. If you submit an appraisal that was prepared for financing, estate, etc., the BAR will review them. If an appraisal is submitted where the scope of the assignment is specific to challenging the assessment, the valuation date per NYS RPTL must be noted as prior year July 1, 2025.
- Cost of construction, if recent or new construction.
- Rental information, if property is income producing. The BAR requires a minimum of three (3) years of income and expense data.
- Photographs showing significant problems with your property.
