When do I file for overvaluation abatement?

You must file between January 1 and February 1 of the tax year, or within 30 days of the mailing date as shown on the tax bill.

However, you should ask yourself three questions before filing for an abatement:
• Is the data on my property correct?
• Is my value in line with others on my street?
• Is my value in line with recent sale prices in my neighborhood?
The Assessors will be happy to assist you in determining whether your assessment is fair and equitable.
