Frequently Asked Questions
What services does the Town Assessor provide?
The Town Assessor is responsible for maintaining an up-to-date inventory of all properties within the town and determining their fair market value to ensure the tax burden is distributed equitably. Beyond valuations, the Assessor processes property tax exemptions (such as senior citizens, and veterans) and maintains the town’s assessment roll and tax maps. They also provide essential data to the public regarding property descriptions and sales history while assisting homeowners in understanding how their assessments are calculated.

What steps are involved appealing a property assessment?
To appeal your property assessment, you should first discuss your concerns with the Town Assessor to review the data on your property record card. If you still disagree with the assessment, you must file Form RP-524 with the Board of Assessment Review. These grievances are typically heard on Grievance Day, which is the fourth Tuesday in May. If you are dissatisfied with the Board's decision, you may seek further judicial review through a Small Claims Assessment Review (SCAR) or a Tax Certiorari proceeding. For a detailed guide on the procedures and necessary forms for contesting your assessment, you can visit the NYS Department of Taxation and Finance.
