Tax Watch 3r Appeal deadlines BY JIM MCCARTHY For homeowners contemplating appeals of their reassess- ments to 1980 market values, the deadlines are drawing near The deadline is March 19, 1987 for most homeowners. For those who have obtained amendments, the deadline is April 2, 1987. To lodge an appeal, fill out the form on the back of your Notice of Property Valuation, or send a letter containing the same information as requested on the form. As reasons for appeal, you need state no more than: "over-assessed". To pursue an appeal through the first stage costs nothing and does not require legal assistance. However, you should marshal your arguments before the hearing, based on com- parables, actual 1980 sale prices, and any other points which may affect market value of your home. It also costs nothing to withdraw an appeal so if you cannot make up your mind whether one is justified, you can submit your appeal by the deadline, and then withdraw. The filing of an appeal may result in a visit by an assessor, who may offer a reduction in your valuation on the spot, based on any new infolmation received. Such bargaining may resolve the issue to your satisfaction. But if not, you still have the right to follow through your appeal. Unfortunately, we were misinformed as to the timing of the television program on this subject broadcast on the Cable Channel, at 7:00 rather than 6:00 p.m. February 23. We regret any inconvenience. Relief Program Update City Council has just decided on an improved relief program for those most badly stung by this reassessment. Hope to have more details next month.
