Overview
The Board of Civil Authority is a quasi-judicial 21 member board consisting of fifteen (15) Justices of the Peace, the Selectboard members and the Town Clerk. The Board’s primary responsibilities are serving as election officials, reviewing the voter checklist, participating in state district reapportionment, and hearing grievance appeals of property assessments. A grievance appeal to the Board of Civil Authority is a process afforded to property owners who are still dissatisfied with their property assessment after receiving a determination from the Assessor’s Office in their grievance process. The appeal process has strict statutory deadlines that all parties must follow.
