Real Estate Tax Appeals
A Helpful Guide for Taxpayers and Assessors

When should taxpayers file their appeal? How much does it cost to file an appeal? What is the difference between the formal and informal procedures? How do taxpayers and assessors prove their cases? Do I need an attorney?

Filing an appeal for abatement of real estate taxes can seem like a daunting task if you are not familiar with the procedures involved. Therefore, the ATB has created a handy guide to help you maneuver your way through the appeal process. This guide will also serve as a reference tool for assessors defending their city's and town's assessments.
