3) REVIEW & SIGN ABATEMENT FORMS FOR TAX YEAR 2008, 2009 & 2010 FOR PROPERTY UNDER THE OWNERSHIP OF LEWIS FISHER, GP (BROOKSIDE APARTMENTS)
Correspondence from Gary Roberge of Avitar, dated September 30, 2010, was reviewed. Owners of property know as Brookside Apartments had filed an appeal form with the Board of Tax & Land Appeals for tax year 2008 and 2009. After several months of negotiation, the property owners made an offer of $1,800,000. A counter offer was proposed to the Board and they accepted Avitar’s recommendation. The proposal was forwarded to the taxpayers and they accepted the offer.
The agreement calls for the 2008 valuation to be 2,200,000. times the ratio of 1.045%. The adjusted valuation came to $2,299,000. which resulted in a tax abatement of $23,901. plus 6% interest and cost and fees. The agreement for 2009 valuation is for $2,200,000. times the ratio of 1.21%. The adjusted valuation came to $2,662,000. which resulted in a tax abatement of $13,077. plus 6% interest and cost and fees. The agreement for 2010 valuation is for $2,227,300. The final tax bill and the tax rate are not set yet. An adjusted tax bill will be sent once the 2010 tax rate has been set. All necessary forms were reviewed by the Board and signed. The Owner and the Tax Collection Office will be notified of these adjustments.
