The grievance process is a long one. It could take about 12-18 months from beginning to end. If the grievance is successfully reduced it may be reflected in 3 possible ways. If the reduction is implemented before the tax bills are issued, it will be reflected on the October (1st half) School Tax bill and the January (following year, 1st half) General Tax bill. Alternatively, if the reduction is implemented after the tax bills are issued, it can be reflected by way of corrected tax bills and/or a refund of overpayment
