Real Estate and Personal Property Abatements
Before you file, please be aware you will need to wait until you receive your third quarter tax bill (January time frame) before you consider filing for an abatement. The application will need to be filed with the Assessing Office on or before the date the "actual" or third quarter tax bill is due.
Your third-quarter tax bill reflects the market-adjusted "actual" assessed value for the fiscal year. The value on your first and second quarter tax bills is an estimated value based on the prior fiscal year's assessed value. The application below has more information on who may file an abatement and the reason abatements are sought.
