The Assessor is a local
government official who places a value on each parcel within the town.
This value is converted into an assessment, which is one component in
the computation of real property tax bills.
The Assessor must obtain
basic certification which requires the successful completion of
courses prescribed by the New York State Office of Real Property
Services.
The Assessor maintains the

picture, value estimate and appropriate exemptions.
The property inventory is
available for inspection during regular business hours.
