SB 912

Under current law, towns, cities, and villages annually convene a meeting of the

board of review to hear objections to local assessments. The board must meet during

the 45-day period beginning on the fourth Monday in April, but no sooner than seven

days after the last day on which the property tax assessment roll is open for public

examination. This bill allows a city, village, or town to postpone the meeting of its

board of review so that it does not occur during the period covered by a public health

emergency declared by the governor.

Also under current law, towns are required to hold an annual town meeting.

The town meeting must be held on the third Tuesday of April, except that the town

may set another date within ten days after the third Tuesday of April. This bill allows

a town board or, if the town board is unable to promptly meet, the town chair to

postpone the town meeting so that it does not occur during the period covered by a

public health emergency declared by the governor.
