To better understand your new assessment, we offer the following:

Assessments reflect one hundred percent of full market value, based on prescribed time frames, set by Real Property Tax Law. Generally, if the Assessor's estimate of the market value of your property reflects roughly the amount for which you could sell your property, then your assessment is fair. (1)
Real Property Tax Law contains two key timing factors in which assessment valuation is predicated upon. They are the taxable status date and the valuation date. It is important to understand the relationship of those dates, as well as how they are applied to the 2024 assessments. Taxable status date: The taxable status of real property according to its condition and ownership as of March 1st of each year. Valuation date: All real property subject to taxation (that is assessed as of a March 1st taxable status date) is valued as of July 1st of the preceding year. For purposes of the 2024 assessment roll, the taxable status date (condition and ownership of the property) is March 1, 2024 and the valuation date is July 1, 2023. The assessment of your home indicates the market value as of July 1, 2023. Restrictively, market changes after July 1, 2023 cannot be used in the 2024 assessments. In summary, the 2024 assessments are valued at one hundred percent of market value as of July 1, 2023.

If you are assessed fairly, but you feel that your taxes are too high:

Assessors do not determine your property taxes. If you feel as though your assessment accurately reflects the market value of your property, but you still feel that your property taxes are too high, you may wish to address this matter with the taxing jurisdictions that impose taxes in your community - school board, county legislature, city council, town board, fire district and other special districts. The assessor cannot assist you with tax matters, but only with matters pertaining to the assessed value of your property. (2)
Informal reviews are often helpful in resolving assessment concerns. Often, an informal discussion between a taxpayer and an Assessor can result in a sharing of information beneficial to both parties. If such a discussion does not result in a reduction in your assessment, and you still feel as though your assessment is too high, you may wish to contest your assessment. (3)

All complaint applications may be submitted by mail or by delivery to Town Hall no later than 4:45 p.m. on May 28, 2024.
