Board of Assessment Review

---

The Board of Assessment Review, BAR is made up of 3-5 members, appointed for 5 year terms. The BAR meets once a year to hear Grievance applications from property owners who disagree with the assessment of the value of their property as it appears in town records.

​The Grievance Day in Allegany is usually the 4th Tuesday in May. The Town Assessor prepares the Tentative Roll in March. The town of Allegany completed a 100% revaluation in the year 2004 and the Town updates the assessment values each year in order to maintain equity among taxpayers.
