Assessment Information
|

Assessment Information- The Town Board will be passing the Cold War Veterans' Exemption. This exemption is for military persons that served for at least a full year of active service during a non-war status time and who do not qualify for the Alternate Veterans Exemption. Oneida County has passed it also. Applications are in the Assessor's Office. You would need a DD214 and proof of residency as it is on your primary residence only for a 10 year period.
- Tonya Brown is taking applications now for the Enhanced Star before folks head south to reduce confusion in the spring. She would need a copy of your 2007 income tax form to qualify you for the exemption.
New residents need to apply for exemptions prior to March 1, 2009, in order to get the reductions for the 2009-2010 tax periods.
- We are starting a new Comprehensive Review of Land Use Regulations with a committee that meets once a month. We will be asking people from the community to give input and will be developing a survey that will be on the web site.
- Soon the assessment data will be on the internet. We are working with Digital Towpath to get it done.
- There is a current sales file in our office for your review any time the office is open. We are open every business day from 9 AM to 4 PM. The only time we are not available is when we attend school or the Assessors meetings.
