Homeowner Successfully Sues Town Assessor for Selective Reassessment
A homeowner commenced an action, pursuant to RPTL Art. 7, seeking to challenge the town’s assessment for a parcel owned by the homeowner. The homeowner alleged, that the town, had “selectively-reassessed the subject property by raising the assessment from $150,000 to $240,000.” This reassessment was not part of a “town-wide reevaluation.” The parcel included a house and, since 2002, a garage. The homeowner had moved for summary judgment. The town opposed the motion, arguing that there are questions of fact.
