  • A Word About Deadlines

    Taxpayer deadlines. The law contemplates "the grievance meeting" to be a one-day affair, 32 V.S.A §4111(g), while recognizing that grievances often spill over into additional days. The statutes therefore provide that a grievance meeting continues until all grievances are heard 32 V.S.A §§4121-22. The continuance of the grievance meeting, however, does not change the deadline by which grievances must be lodged. Taxpayers who wish to grieve must get a written notice of an appeal to the board of listers on or before the grievance date stated in the change of appraisal notice. Any grievance notice received after that date- even if received while the listers are hearing grievances due to continuances - does not meet the requirement of being filed "at or prior to the time fixed for hearing appeals." 32 V.S.A §4222, is untimely and should not be heard.
