APPEALS
The Assessor’s office
encourages all taxpayers to first review their own record and
request an informal
review from the Assessor prior to filing their formal abatement
application.
If a taxpayer
feels that their assessment is overvalued compared to
similar type properties
within Winslow, they have the right to appeal to the Assessor
within 185 days from the
commitment date.
The taxpayer, who wishes to appeal,
must file an abatement
application with the
Assessor’s Office and
provide supporting documentation as evidence to their claim.
Please review
Bulletin 10
for more information.
TAX MAPS
as of April 1, 2011
Maps are only intended for assessment purposes and are not
surveys for conveyance.
You will note that there is no MAP 21 listed. MAP 21 previously
existed only to show portions of parcels that overlapped from
other maps and therefore is non-existent.
You will also note that we have added MAP 17A and 17B – these
combine to represent MAP17.
We welcome copies of surveys!
