Assessor's Office

The Assessor is a local government official who places a value on each parcel within the town. This value is converted into an assessment, which is one component in the computation of real property tax bills.

The Assessor must obtain basic certification  which requires the successful completion of courses prescribed by the New York State Office of Real Property Services.

The Assessor maintains the municipality's assessment roll--the document containing each property assessment. This includes the physical description (or inventory)  value estimate and appropriate exemptions.

The property inventory is available for inspection during regular business hours.
