Message from the Assessor
My staff and I “Welcome You”. Our office is available to assist you in any way possible with assessment policies and procedures governed by New York State Real Property Tax Law.
Our department is responsible for determining and maintaining assessments, property inventory records, ownership interest, exemptions, City Owned properties, and maps on approximately 14,400 parcels.
Recently, legislation has passed a Citywide Revaluation Project, a positive step to reach our goal of a “fair and equitable” assessment roll. It has been approximately 37 years since the last Citywide Revaluation Project. The Assessors’ Office will be working closely with GAR, the independent contractor hired by the City.
Periodically, there will be mailings and educational workshops throughout the City. I urge all property owners to be an integral part of this utmost important project.
We pride ourselves on providing friendly yet professional service and adhere to an “Open Door Policy”. If you should have any questions or concerns regarding the project, please see below.
