E-Filing for Tax Grievances
WHEREAS, the County of Suffolk and each of the ten Suffolk County Towns are in a State of
Emergency with the entire State of New York as declared by the Governor as of March 7, 2020,
due to COVID-19; and
WHEREAS, in light of the foregoing, the Town of Southold, the Supervisor, the Board of
Assessors and the legal representatives of the Town recognize the need to reduce expenses, to
conserve resources and to maintain some type of “social distancing” into the future. Therefore,
there is a need to make certain changes to the current procedure for service upon the Town of
administrative complaints challenging the assessment of real property as authorized under
Article 5 of the Real Property Tax Law. Changes to the current service of process would not only
limit the personal contact between the public and assessment staff, but also greatly reduce the
already limited resources of the town reviewing and processing the grievance complaints filed
each year; and
WHEREAS, the filing period to file such complaints is imminent and the adoption of an E-Filing
system is in the best interest of both Complainants and the Town; and
WHEREAS, the use of a uniform E-Filing system for filing a grievance complaint(s) upon the
Town is currently provided for by the Real Property Tax Law §104(1)(b) and the proposed
uniform E-Filing system provides Complainants with the same protections they currently enjoy;
and
WHEREAS, the adoption of a uniform E-Filing system is not intended to replace a
Complainants’ ability to file grievance complaints in accordance with the current statutory and
regulatory framework but rather it is to be an alternative thereto; and
WHEREAS, the Procedures and Protocols will be located at: <http://ny-
southold2.civicplus.com/1617/Grievance-Information> and incorporated herein adequately
address the concerns of the Complainants and the Town; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with the provisions of Real Property Tax Law §104, the adoption and
implementation of a uniform E-Filing system for service of a grievance complaint(s), filed under
Real Property Tax Law Art. 5, shall be deemed to be in compliance with the provisions of real
property tax law and all other applicable laws, rules & regulations applicable to service of such

Property Tax Law Art.5 shall be deemed to be in compliance with the provisions of the Real
Property Tax Law and all other applicable laws, rules & regulations applicable to filing
