If you have decided to file for an assessment reduction, you should mail or deliver the complaint form and supporting documentation to your local assessing unit so that it arrives on or before Grievance Day.
If you mail the form, even if it is postmarked on or before Grievance Day, it is deemed to be late if it does NOT arrive by Grievance Day. Ideally, the form should arrive at least 3 business days before Grievance Day.Otherwise, the assessor can obtain an adjournment to have time to prepare a response to your complaint. The reason behind this is that due to the volume of complaints, the forms cannot be reviewed by the Assessor by Grievance Day in preparation for submission to the Board of Assessment Review.
It should be noted that a personal appearance before the Board of Assessment Review IS NOT A REQUIREMENT. All paperwork will be reviewed by the Board of Assessment Review regardless of your choice not to appear.
Grievance Day will be held on May 24th, 2022 between the hours of 5:00 PM - 9:00 PM for a total of at least 4 hours. The Board of Assessment Review will meet at the CLAY TOWN HALL, 4401 NEW YORK STATE ROUTE 31, CLAY, NEW YORK 13041, to hear and examine all verified written complaints in relation to such assessments, on the application of any person believing himself aggrieved thereby. Grievances can be filed by U.S. mail or by email only at assessor@townofclay.org. If procedures change due to unforseen cirumstances, that information will be posted on the town website.
