Answer:
The legality of the supplemental tax bill depends on the specific circumstances and procedures followed by the town. Generally, governments have broad taxing authority and may argue that you have not suffered a hardship since the original reduced rate was not legally justified. If you want to challenge this, consider contacting the taxpayer advocate for assistance. Users can search for state-specific legal templates at .
