Bill Summary

This bill enables taxpayers whose applications for tax credits or exemptions have been denied to request and hold a public hearing with the assessing official who rendered that decision.

AI Summary

This bill allows taxpayers whose applications for tax exemptions, deferrals, or credits have been denied by assessing officials or selectmen to request a public hearing for reconsideration of that decision. The hearing must be held within 45 days of the taxpayer receiving the written denial, and the officials must make an immediate decision at the hearing. Public notice of the hearing must be published in a local newspaper and posted in two public places at least 14 days in advance, with the applicant responsible for the costs of this notice, and failure to pay these costs can lead to the denial of the application without a hearing. This provision does not prevent taxpayers from pursuing further appeals to the board of tax and land appeals or the superior court.
