Board of Assessment

All complaints heard by the Board of Review must be filed on New York State form RP-524 – COMPLAINT ON REAL PROPERTY ASSESSMENT, which are available from the Assessment Office. At the time of the hearing it is beneficial for property owners to provide the BAR with photos of the property, physical descriptions of all buildings and a list of similar properties {with assessments} located within the community. A property owner may contest a Board of Assessment Review decision by appealing to a Small Claims Assessment Review hearing or by filing suit in New York Supreme Court.
