CONWAY — In January, 100 or so frustrated taxpayers took to town hall to take issue when a recent reval of their properties caused a sudden spike in their taxes. Now, a group of Conway taxpayers has petitioned the N.H. Board of Land and Tax Appeals to order a full reassessment in 2024.
The New Hampshire Board of Tax & Land Appeals (BTLA) is an alternative forum to the Superior Court system. Among the items in the BTLA's jurisdiction is matters concerning the reassessment of property.
