DEAR PROPERTY OWNER:
As part of the Assessment Equity Improvement Projects, the Town Assessor’s office has reviewed and analyzed property assessments within the local Municipality.
WHY:
According to NYS Real Property Tax Law, all property assessments must be valued at the same uniform percentage. To maintain this legal requirement, assessment updates must be performed periodically. By implementing this program, assessments remain fair and equitable.
ABOUT PROPERTY TAXES: Youtube Video
WHAT:
An assessment update does not generate more tax revenue for a municipality; it simply redistributes the tax burden fairly. NYS Real Property Tax Law §305 states that all properties must be assessed uniformly. Assessing properties at 100% full market value is the best way to ensure property assessment equity and reflects the current value of your property.

***Keep in mind, the ASSESSOR DOES NOT determine taxes***
this is the responsibility of each taxing jurisdiction. Assessments are merely the vehicle to determine the share of the property taxes owed.
The new full value assessments will be final July 1, 2025 and will be applied to the school tax bills in September 2025 and the Town & County bill on January 1, 2026.
Parcels with recently completed/active building permits may receive a second notice after May 1, 2025.Grievance Forms to be submitted for an appointment with the Board of Assessment Review (BAR) by May 27th
