Depending on the amount, hire an attorney. I've found that some Town Assessors almost take abatement requests personally.
When we built our current house, I found out that our assessor had been tagging along with the CEO during his final inspections of all new construction homes. I worked with the builder and put a stop to it and the assessor was miffed that they could not tag along. If the sales price and obvious age of the home were not enough they should not be assessing.
