The Assessor’s Office is responsible for placing an equitable value on each parcel of land in Lysander. This is achieved each year through annual reassessment as prescribed by the NYS Office of Real Property Services. The Assessor is available by appointment throughout the year to discuss assessments.
Some of the many functions of the Assessor’s Office are:
Value property
Process exemptions
Verify sales data
Collect data on new construction
All exemption forms must be filed by March 1
Key dates that affect the assessment process:
March 1: Taxable Status Date
March 1: Filling Deadline: All real property tax exemptions
Annual reassessment is a systematic annual review of assessments in the Town. A systematic review of each parcel does not mean that every assessment will change every year.
