First Step to Fighting the City of Tonawanda 2023 Assessment


First Step to Fighting the City of Tonawanda 2023 Assessment


One of the issues I had with the assessment is they used inaccurate information. For example, my home is 1,274 square feet and has been since I bought it over a decade ago. The assessment company used 1,512 square feet for the assessment. That extra 238 square feet changed the dynamic of the assessment resulting in inaccurate comparables. 

For those wanting to start the process of disputing their assessment, the first step is to find four comparable homes and the recent sale price. The company that completed the assessment has released this information:
https://storageaccounterie.blob.core.windows.net/containererie/files%2Fcityoftonawanda%2Fresidentialvalidsales.pdf
Zillow also has a home comparable search option. 

After completing the form, it can either be converted to a .pdf and emailed, or paper mailed to the company. This will start the informal review process. 

This MUST be filed timely. The date it must be received by is March 31, 2023. 

If anyone needs help completing this process, please message me or email me at electchrisfisher@outlook.com

Chris' Time in Public Service

  While serving in the Army during 9/11, I was intrigued with New York City and the NYPD. After serving in the Army, I went to New York and took the test to become one of New York’s Finest. I got to see things most people only dream about. When the opportunity arose to return to Western New York and continue to be a police officer, I was honored to be able to do something I love and return home. Because of the differences in the pension systems, I was able to file for early retirement with the NYPD before accepting a job as a police officer with the State University Police. I am thankful for my time as a SUNY police officer because I was able to complete a bachelor’s degree and start a master’s degree program with SUNY assistance. After completing my studies, I went on to become a criminal investigator and then senior criminal investigator with the Health Department. My work leads me to partner with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies. I still work as a police officer pa
