If the Board Assessment Review grants you a reduction, expect to see your new lower
assessment on your next tax bill.
If your Grievance is denied, and we believe we can still win you a reduction, we
will file an appeal on your behalf. The Critical Dates for the Appeal Process are:

Appeal Deadline (Sept/Oct 2010)

If your case goes to Appeal and we successfully win a reduction for you after the
beginning of the tax year:
- Your 2nd half tax bill will be revised to reflect your new assessment, AND
credit you with the overpayment you made on the 1st half bill
OR
- A refund check will be issued if your taxes are paid in full.
