Board reduces assessment for 139 Burr Hall Rd after owner points out property listing errors

Homeowner Beverly Gugliotti appealed the assessor's valuation for 139 Burr Hall Rd at the Board of Assessment Appeals' April 25 meeting, saying assessor records incorrectly listed a solarium instead of a two-season enclosed porch and recorded five bedrooms rather than three. Gugliotti provided property cards for nearby homes she said were comparable.

After discussion the board voted to reduce the property’s market value to $670,000 and assessed value to $469,000 (motion by Commissioner Brenden M. Browne; seconded by Commissioner Robert J. Flanagan Jr.; unanimous). The minutes record the board relied on the information submitted by the appellant and the comparable data she provided.
