Boards of Assessment Review
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. In light of the COVID-19 health crisis, can County RPT Directors provide the required
BAR.training remotely?
A. `des. County RPT Directors can provide the training via a teleconference, webinar, or
videoconference.
Q. Could ORPTS waive the training requirement for BAR members who have previously
received the training?
A. The law doesn't authorize the waiver of the training requirement, but if a county cannot offer
remote training, or if an individual member is notable to access remote training, the Office or
Real Property Tax Services will extend the deadline for such training in that county or for that
individual until May 1, 2022.
Note: BAR members who received an extension to complete the training in 2020 must fulfill the
training requirement in 2021. ORPTS will not extend the training requirement for a second year.
-2-
Q.What is the purpose of the Board of Assessment Review(BAR)?
A. The BAR's purpose is to guarantee taxpayers' rights by hearing real property assessment
complaints (grievances) and arriving at fair and impartial determinations regarding those
complaints.
Q.Who must attend training?
A. Initial appointees and re-appointees to the BAR must attend a BAR training session in order
to participate in the hearing and determinations of assessment complaints on grievance day.
Q. How are BAR appointments determined?
A. Section 523 of the Real Property Tax Law prescribes BAR appointments. The Town Board or
the City Council appoints members for a five-year term of office. Terms of office must begin on
October 1 and end on September 30, five years later. Terms should be staggered so that only
one term expires each year.
Persons appointed on a date other than October 1 to fill an unexpired term serve until
September 30 of the year that term ends.
The BAR must consist of not less than three nor more than five members.
Neither the assessor nor any of his or her staff may be appointed to the board.
In addition, the majority of the board must consist of members who are not officers or
employees of the local government or villacdP
Q. Are there different types of Board of Assessment Review memberships?
A. There are two types of BAR members: regular members (described above), and temporary
members.
Regular BAR members make all final determinations regarding assessments (Real Property Tax
Law, section 523-a).
Temporary members are appointed to serve on administrative hearing panels. Up to two
temporary members can be appointed for each regular member on the BAR. Temporary
members:
are appointed to one-year terms,
are required to attend training every year, and
can only make recommendations regarding assessment determinations.
Q. What if an assessing unit can't find enough qualified members for a BAR?
A. The new subdivision (5) of RPTL section 1537 allows for the county legislature to appoint
members to the BAR. An agreement between an assessing unit and a county for assessment
review services shall provide for the members of the board of assessment review of the
W A Harriman Campus Albany NY 12227 1518-474-1764 1 wwvv.tax.ny.gov
-3 —
assessing unit to be appointed by the legislative body of the county upon the recommendation
of the county director of the real property tax services. Each member so appointed shall be a
resident of the county but need not be a resident of the assessing unit. The BAR as so
constituted shall have the authority to receive, review and resolve petitions for assessment
review filed in such assessing unit, and for the corrections of errors therein, to the full extent set
forth in article five of this chapter.
Q. Do Board of Assessment Review members receive certificates?
A. Yes. The County RPT Director provides the training and distributes "certificates of
attendance"to each BAR member who attends the course. A copy of the certificate is filed with
the city or town clerk.
Q.What happens if, after exploring all alternatives with the county director, a BAR
member does not attend the training course when required to do so?
A. The BAR member should explore all options with their county director and even the directors
of neighboring counties to attend BAR training when they are required to attend. They should
always seek alternate training dates or arrangements before using the last resort of applying for
an extension.
If a BAR member is unable to attend the courses offered as explained above, due to reasons
they cannot control, they must submit a request in writing to the Office of Real Property Tax
Services (ORPTS) Educational Services Unit: orpts.edservices@tax.ny.gov.. The extension
request must be received at least ten working days prior to Grievance Day and must include the
specific reason for not attending the prescribed training.
If an extension is granted, the BAR member will be notified as soon as possible prior to
Grievance Day and will be allowed to participate as a BAR member with the understanding that
they must attend the next available training session.
If an extension is denied, the BAR member cannot be counted in determining whether a quorum
is present at a meeting of the BAR. Furthermore, such members may not participate in the
hearing and determination of complaints.
