I don’t think that my tax bill is accurate – what should I do?

You have 30 days from the date of issue of the first actual tax bill and/or Personal Property tax bills to file for an abatement (usually February 1st) with the Board of Assessors. You have 30 days from the date of issue of an excise tax bill to pay the tax without penalty. You can file for an abatement of an excise tax with the Board of Assessor’s within three years after the excise was due or within one year after the excise was paid, whichever is later. The Tax Collector cannot change or adjust your tax bill. You should pay the tax bill on-time to avoid late fees and additional charges. Any adjustment of the tax would be refunded to you.
