Board authorizes appraisal for specialty property tied to Fairlife revaluation
Summary
The board authorized contracting GAR Appraisal LLC to appraise a specialty property (1886 Tibor Road) to inform the 2027 revaluation at a cost not to exceed $7,000; staff noted higher costs could arise if litigation requires an updated appraisal.
The Town Board authorized the supervisor to engage GAR Appraisal LLC to appraise a specialty property (listed as 1886 Tibor Road) to advise the assessor for the 2027 revaluation, with a not‑to‑exceed cost of $7,000.
Staff explained the vendor selection process: multiple appraisal firms were solicited, and GAR Appraisal LLC was chosen for relevant recent experience on similar facilities. The board discussed whether the contracted appraisal would suffice if the property owner challenges an assessment; staff said that if litigation followed, the appraisal might need updating under Supreme Court standards and the cost could approach $20,000. The board approved the authorization by vote.
