Meeting schedule is decided each year, and historically, meetings are held in May.
BAR members must:
• have knowledge of property values in the municipality
• be at least 18 years old
• be a citizen of the United States
• be a resident of the municipality in which the board serves; and
• attend required training
The BAR constitutes what is known as a quasi-judicial body and the members of the board are charged with judicial responsibility to get all the facts and apply appropriate laws and reasoning to the facts in a fair and judicious manner. Members are appointed to a five-year term.
As an initial appointee or re-appointee to the board of assessment review (BAR), members must attend a training session, taught by a county director of real property tax services.
Check the New York State Training Manual and Reference Materials for more information on the role and responsibilities of a board member.
