Roberto Ordonez, Board of Assessment Appeals

The Board of Assessment Appeals is charged with the responsibility to provide a fair and balanced evaluation of an assessment appeal based on the evidence provided by the homeowner. The Board does not create, guide or steer policy. We are entrusted to be an impartial agent between the Weston Tax Assessor and Weston homeowners.

For a property owner to successfully appeal a tax assessment the owner should have a basic understanding of the Assessment process. The homeowner has 15 minutes to present the appeal. It is important that the evidence in the Comparative Market Analysis is clear and concise. Using Field Card data is the best tool when comparing one’s assessment to other assessments. The Board can only evaluate the Appeal based on the evidence provided by the homeowner.

Our board works in a very collegial manner assuring all property owners are treated with courtesy and respect. I look forward to continuing to serve my community and ‘giving back’, it is a very rewarding experience.
