TOWN GOVERNMENT: ASSESSOR'S OFFICE

The Assessor of the Town of Avon is obligated by New York State law to maintain assessments at a uniform percentage of market value. The Assessor is responsible for establishing and maintaining assessments, retain and updating inventory records, processing and storing transfers/sales, tax maps and administering exemptions. We receive copies of all permits issued by the Department of Planning & Zoning. This information is recorded on our computers and used to update our property record cards.

The Assessor prepares the Assessment Roll each year that lists information for each property in the Town. When the Assessment Roll is finalized each year it becomes the base upon which annual real property tax levies are derived. An accurate Assessment Roll is vital to the delivery of public services and maintaining the fiscal strength of local government.

Another function of the Assessor's Office is the administration of many exemptions for which property owners may quality.

PLEASE LET US KNOW:
To ensure that our assessment records reflect the most current mailing address and to ensure that our tax bills are sent to the correct address, please notify this office of any mailing address changes.

If you are assessed fairly, but feel that your taxes are too high:

Assessors do not determine your property taxes. If you feel as though your assessment accurate reflects the market value of your property, but you still feel that your property taxes are too high, you may wish to address this mater with the taxing jurisdictions that impose taxes in your community-school board, county legislature, town board, fire district and other special districts.
