Following a successful property assessment appeal where the assessment was reduced from $1,173,000 to $525,000, the assessed person applied for costs against the Town of Fort Erie.
The Board had previously found the municipality's actions to be unreasonable, frivolous, vexatious, or in bad faith, noting its intransigence was unsupported by reliable evidence and amounted to an abuse of power.
The assessed person requested $6,405.34 in costs.
The municipality did not respond to the application.
The Board granted the costs award in the amount of $6,403.34.
