What do I do if I don’t agree with the Assessor’s valuation of my property?
First, compare your assessment to similar homes in your neighborhood. You can do this by visiting the Assessing Department portion of the City of Lewiston website and selecting Property Tax Records or come to City Hall, 27 Pine Street, and review the Valuation Book at the Assessor’s Office. Next, you can request an informal review of your property. Finally, if you are not happy with the results of the review, you can formally appeal your valuation by submitting an application for abatement.
