Assessments: What should I do if information contained on my property card is incorrect or if it appears that my property is being inequitably assessed compared to other similar properties in town?

(From the DRA Website)

Residents are encouraged to periodically review their property cards for accuracy. Cards can be accessed on line (See Property Cards and On-Line Maps) or can be obtained from the Assessing Department. Data errors (number of bedrooms/bathrooms, finished vs. unfinished basements, features that have been removed, etc.) can usually be easily verified and corrected for the current tax year (if not for the first half, estimated tax bill, then usually by the final bill). Any corrections relating to the prior tax year can be evaluated and resolved through the abatement process. The deadline to file for Abatement is March 1stfollowing the tax year for which the abatement is being requested. (See Abatements and Appeals webpage). The Assessing Department is happy to discuss any concerns you may have regarding your assessment.
