Claims Assessment Review (SCAR)
If you
think your property assessment is incorrect or has been done unfairly
you can you can challenge your property assessment in Small Claims
Assessment Review (SCAR) if you meet both of the following provisions:
- you own and live in a one, two, or three-family
home and use it exclusively for residential purposes. A seasonal
residence can qualify provided that, during the period it is in use,
the owner occupies it. In addition, vacant land parcels also can
qualify provided they are not of sufficient size, as determined by
the assessing unit, to contain a one, two, or three-family
residential structure.
- You already timely filed a written review about
your property assessment with the board of assessment review (BAR)
or other administrative review body of the assessing unit, and you
are not requesting a reduction greater than the amount you sought
before that board.
