The open book session with the assessor and the Board of Review is held sometime between the 2nd Monday of May and December. The open book session gives property owners an opportunity to discuss their valuation with the assessor. If the property owner remains dissatisfied after speaking with the assessor, the property owner may notify the town clerk, complete the proper papers and appear before the board of Review. The Open Book Session and Board of Review are the only opportunities a property owner has to dispute the property valuations. It is too late once the taxes are printed.
