Board of Review Meeting – Board of Review is scheduled for May 13, 2021 with hearings starting at 9 a.m. Property owners are encouraged to speak with the assessor regarding their assessments prior to the meeting of the Board of Review.

Open Book is held before the Board of Review. During this session, the municipality’s assessment roll (which lists all the municipality’s properties) is open for examination. The property owner can informally discuss the property value with the local assessor. If the property value is changed at Open Book, the assessor corrects the assessment roll.
