This article shall be known and cited as Town of Amenia Local
Law No. 1 of 2020 entitled "A Local Law to Change Grievance Day for
Assessment."
This article was adopted pursuant to authority contained in
§ 512 of the Real Property Tax Law of the State of New York.
The Town of Amenia presently employs an Assessor who is at the
same time employed by another jurisdiction's assessing unit. Grievance
Day for the other jurisdiction assessing unit is the first Wednesday
following the fourth Tuesday in May. Grievance Day for the Town of
Amenia was established by local law pursuant to § 512(1-a)
of the Real Property Tax Law as the first Thursday following the fourth
Tuesday in May. The Town of Amenia is now seeking to restore Grievance
Day to the fourth Tuesday in May as established by § 512(1)
of the Real Property Tax Law of the State of New York.
The Town of Amenia hereby adopts as the date for the meetings
of the Board of Assessment Review (also known as "Grievance Day")
as the first fourth Tuesday of May and so many days thereafter as
the Board of Assessment Review deems necessary to hear complaints
in relation to assessments in the Town of Amenia.
