ASSESSOR Latest Update: 8 Jun 09
Personnel Assessor's Responsibilities Determine and maintain assessments, property inventory records, ownership and exemptions on approximately 5,800 parcels. Locate all taxable Real Property in our town and identify the ownership of each. Establish a taxable value for all Real Property subject to taxation. List the values of all property on the Assessment Roll. Assist taxpayers with completing their exemption applications and determine their eligibility. Examples: Senior Citizen, Alternative Veteran, Basic STAR, Enhanced STAR, Disability, Business, Clergy, Agricultural, Non-Profit, etc. The last day for filing all exemption applications for any given year is March 1st. Important Dates to Remember Affecting the Assessment Process:
The Assessment Information System. Our Assessment Information System has been undergoing upgrades (and we've recently added the cities of Troy and Rensselaer to our consortium. Thanks for bearing with us as we make sure the AIS provides a single, easy to use, way to access almost all information maintained by your Assessor including assessment roll data, tax maps, property photographs, tax rates, exemption amounts, comparable sales and comparable assessments. This document management site has been designed as a search tool. Please email me, Sharon Martin, and let me know how to make the even site better for you! This will be a valuable tool for property owners and appraisers. For the Enhanced Sr. STAR, please come into our office. We will need to make copies of your driver's license for proof of age. We will also need to make copies of your latest Federal or State Income Tax Return. We will be glad to help you complete the application and make sure you have all the necessary documentation. New! (24 Apr 09) The State of NY has discontinued the STAR Rebate program. The exemptions will not change. In other words, the "rebate" program which provided some tax relief in some cases no longer exists, but STAR Exemptions remain in effect. The Applications for ALL Exemptions are available in our office or on-line on-line. |
