In Person: BARs meeting with property owners in person ask that everyone follows COVID-19 guidelines by maintaining social distancing and wearing face masks. The number of people allowed in the meeting room at one time will be limited. BARs will still review assessments for those who choose to stay home as long as form RP-524 has been submitted in time.
Telephone or WebEx: BARs meeting with property owners by phone or WebEx will call property owners that have submitted form RP-524 to hear their grievance. Form RP-524 must be received by the Assessor’s Office before Grievance Day. Once this form has been received the Assessor’s Office will call you to schedule an appointment.
