New Assessments and Increased Rates

The 2019/20 school tax bills are out and have mostly increased over the last year. The new 2021 assessments will be out in January 2020.

Complaints to the new assessments must be made by February 28, 2020. We expect the 2020 tax rates to increase next year by 20% or more since there were so many complaints to the revaluations assessments.

It’s a complicated system that requires the taxpayer to complain about the new assessments in January of each year, although the taxes based on that assessment will not be known for almost two years later.
