The Assessor is a local government official who estimates the value of real property within city, town, or village boundaries. This value is converted into an assessment, which is one component in the computation of real property tax bills.
The assessor is responsible for discovering, listing, and valuing all taxable real property according to the laws of the State of New York. Real property is defined as land and all things attached to the land.
The assessor is responsible to the individual property owner to ensure that the value is proper so that the owner pays no more than his or her fair share of the property tax. The assessor is further responsible to all the people in ensuring that no property escapes the assessment process or is under/over assessed and that no property owner receives unauthorized preferential treatment.
Assessors do not establish tax rates or decide how much tax is to be paid. Their task is to estimate as accurately as possible, the market value of your property.
