Real Estate Abatement
The Board met with Leland Smith taxpayer at 15 Gosnold to review his denial of 1/17/2017.
A motion was made by Tim Brady to re-open the abatement application. The motion was seconded and
approved unanimously.
The Board discussed the timing of Mr. Smith's application to the Land Court to combine 15 Gosnold and
11 Woodsneck. The Board determined that Mr. Smith made the application to the Court in February of
2016 and decided that date was when the family made the formal decision to combine the properties. If
the property was one lot for fiscal 2017 (assessment date January ln, 2016)the assessment would have
been approximately $500,000 less. The Board decided to prorate the abatement to the application date
and abate $400,000. The abatement application was made on 15 Gosnold and the abatement is to be
applied to that property only. Unanimous 3-0-0.
The Board reviewed and signed the Property Tax Abatement Report for January 2017 with Real Estate
Abatements totaling$2,368.99 and CPA surcharges of$71.06. A report of the abatements is available in
the assessors' office. Unanimous 3-0-0.
11 Fox Ridge: The assessor related a conversation on approximately February 15th 2015 with the taxpayer
Mr. Thomas Minichiello. Per Mr. Minichiello said he would send additional information if he wished to
pursue the abatement. As no additional information has been received the board voted to allow the
application to be deemed denied on March 19, 2017,the Board of Assessors last action date and for the
assessor to send notice. Unanimous 3-0-0.
