| Who is the Assessor?
The Assessor is a local government official who
Is obligated by New York State law to maintain
assessment at a uniform percentage of the market
value each year. The Assessor signs an oath
to this effect when verifying the tentative
assessment roll. In order to maintain a uniform
roll, each year your assessor will need to
analyze all of the properties in the municipality;
which may include physical inspections and
also taking exterior pictures of parcels.
The assessor also reviews every transfer of real
property for accuracy.
