Grievance Day in the Hilltowns and New Scotland



—Matt Cook and Maggie Gordon

Few people in the Hilltowns and New Scotland appealed their assessments before their towns’ assessment review boards on the state-wide Grievance Day, Tuesday. No commercial property owners grieved their assessments. None of these towns have gone through revaluation recently.

—In New Scotland, two residents filed grievances;

—In Westerlo, one resident filed a grievance;

—In Rensselaerville, six residents filed grievances; and

—In Knox, three residents filed grievances;

In each town, except Knox, the grievances will be considered by the review boards and decided on at a later date.

In Knox, the three residents had their assessments lowered slightly, said Tim Frederick, chair of the assessment review board.

Information from Berne was not available.
