Real Estate Tax Appeal Deadline February 20. 2010

It is not too soon to begin planning if you are thinking about filing tax appeal for your New Canaan property taxes. By statute, property owners who wish to challenge their tax assessment on the October 1. 2009 Grand List must file an appeal with the Board of Assessment Appeals by February 20, 2010. An appeal must be based on appropriate legal and valuation grounds, never on a mere belief that the taxes are "too high". If you have any questions, call me to discuss.
