Tax Abatement
An abatement differs from a tax appeal in that the subject of the hearing is taxes or charges, not assessment of property. It is a statutory process for relieving taxpayers from the burden of paying property taxes, water charges, sewer charges, interest, and/or collection fees when the law authorizes abatement and when the Board, in its discretion ("the Board may, is the way the law puts it") agrees that the request is reasonable and proper.
