BERLIN — The city is asking the state Board of Tax and Land Appeals to rule it has complied with its March 2021 order and declare the docket closed on its 2018 statistical update and 2020 revaluation of property assessments. In its order, the state board ruled the Berlin board of assessors acted improperly in granting themselves abatements of their 2018 property assessments. While the order dealt mainly with the 2018 update, the BTLA noted that work on the 2020 update was not complete at the time.

The N.H. Department of Revenue Administration is urging the BTLA not to close the docket. The DRA said it believes corrections still need to be made to the property assessments of the former board of assessors. The agency also points out that the 2020 revaluation did not adjust assessments for riverfront property and views.
