How to grieve in the Town of Oyster Bay
- Check your County assessment. The County’s market value for your home is what a grievance questions. Look up your home to compare it with similar homes nearby.
- File with ARC between January 4–March 1, 2027. One filing covers county, town, and school taxes. It is free, and you can file online through AROW.
- Check whether your village holds its own grievance. Mineola, Roslyn, Westbury assess on their own village roll, with a separate grievance for village taxes. The village grievance guide lists every village.
- Wait for ARC’s decision, then SCAR if you need it. If ARC doesn’t lower your assessment enough, Small Claims Assessment Review is the next step.
