Abatements
If any property owner believes their assessment is incorrect and wishes to apply for an abatement, they shall first appeal to the local assessing officials (Board of Selectmen) in writing, as stated in RSA 76:16, within 90 days of final notice of tax (December tax bill) or by March 1st, whichever occurs first.
An abatement is requested when the landowner feels that their property is unfairly assessed compared to other properties, similar to theirs, that have recently sold; there is a mistake on the assessment card (e.g. 4 bedrooms instead of 3); or a recent appraisal which disputes the town’s assessed value. Abatements may be filed after the December tax bill has been mailed. The deadline for filing is March 1st.
Applications are available online (see link below) or you can pick one up at the Assessing Office.
