NYS Governor Cuomo directed in pertinent part as follows:
” . . . Article 5 of the Real Property Tax Law, and analogous provisions of any other general or special laws that require a tentative assessment roll to be filed on or before June 1, 2020, to allow the tentative and final assessment rolls to be filed, at local option, up to 30 days later than otherwise allowable, to allow an assessing unit to set a date for hearing assessment complaints that is at least 21 days after the filing of the tentative roll, to allow notice of the filing of the tentative roll to be published solely online so long as the date for hearing complaints is prominently displayed, to suspend in-person inspection of the tentative roll, and to allow local Boards of Assessment Review to hear complaints remotely by conference call or similar service, provided that complainants can present their complaints through such service and the public has the ability to view or listen to such proceeding; . . . “
Thus, the Town of Franklin tentative assessment roll will be filed on or before May 5, 2020. Notice of filing that roll will be posted on this website.
The Board of Assessment Review will meet Wednesday, May 27, 2020 from 4-8PM. That meeting will be via video conference. Anyone wishing to be heard that day must submit Form RP-524 on or before Thursday May 21, 2020. Upon receipt of any RP-524 by the Assessor, the Complainant will be provided with the details for attending the video conference Board of Assessment Review hearing.
