Boards of Assessment Review Frequently Asked Questions 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. �2 � 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 village. 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-ori 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 oto 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 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.
