The Board of Assessment Review is a five member board, appointed by the Town Board to five year terms.
Real Property Tax Law requires that members of the board of assessment review have a knowledge of property values in the assessing unit. They have the responsibility to make final determinations regarding assessments by hearing complaints (grievances) and arriving at a fair and impartial determination regarding those complaints. Training is required. The BAR meets annually on the 4th Tuesday in May, (Grievance Day).
