These informal hearings are by appointment only and will be held at the South Kingstown Town Hall, 180 High Street, Wakefield, in the 2nd floor conference room. This would be the time to review and present evidence supporting what you believe is the fair market value, such as comparable properties in your area. The results of your hearing will be mailed to you once the hearings and review process are complete.
