Board denies 68 tax‑assessment petitions, staff cites procedural deficiencies
Summary
A village staff presenter told the board an outside consultant recommended denial and dismissal of 68 certiorari (tax grievance) petitions, largely for missing signatures or documentation; the board voted to deny and advised petitioners of appeal rights to the county Supreme Court.
A staff presenter (speaker 11) told trustees that an outside consultant had reviewed 68 certiorari petitions and recommended denial for procedural deficiencies or incomplete documentation. "We've had 68 applications, and the consultant has recommended denial and dismissal of all 68," the staff member said, and asked the board, sitting as the Board of Assessment, to deny the petitions; the motion was made and carried by voice vote.
The presenter told residents that petitioners who disagree have 30 days from April 1 (or 30 days from the meeting night) to appeal to the Suffolk County Supreme Court (SCAR division). The board instructed clerk/assessor staff to notify petitioners of the denial and appeal timelines.
