HOW WE ARRIVE AT YOUR ASSESSMENT

The Village assesses all real property at a percentage of market value. The percentage is known as an equalization rate (ER). These rates are established by the New York State Office of Real Property Tax Services (http://www.orps.state.ny.us/) annually. This rate and ratio changes annually based on real estate market trends. Most important is their use to equalize the assessment into full market value. For example:

Property Class           Market Value                 Equalization Rate         Assessed Value

Homestead              $625,000.00       x      20.62%     =         128,875

In order to determine your annual Village Taxes, you would need to find out the current tax rate and multiply it by the assessment:

Example Assessment     Tax Rate Per Thousand of Assessed Value    Annual Taxes

128,875 / 1000     x    Homestead rate of $36.399851      =     $4,691.03
