DESCRIPTION OF RESPONSIBILITIES OF THIS OFFICE:

Assessor is local official who estimates the value of real property within the 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 maintains the municipality assessment roll - the document containing each property assessment. The physical description and value estimate of every parcel is kept current. The property inventory is available for inspection by appointment before the filing of the tentative assessment roll May 1. The assessment roll shows assessments and appropriate exemptions. Every year the roll, with preliminary or tentative assessments, is made available for public inspection. After the Board of Assessment Review (BAR) has acted on assessment complaints and ordered any changes, the tentative assessment roll is made final July 1. Property is assessed at an estimate of market value.

The Assessor approves and keeps track of property tax exemptions -the most common being Senior Citizen, Star, Veterans, Agricultural, etc. The Assessor also reviews every transfer of real property for accuracy, including the basic information on the buyer, seller, and sale price.
