To better understand your new assessment, we offer the following:
Generally, if the Assessor's estimate of the market value of your property reflects roughly the amount for which you could sell your property, then your assessment is fair. (1)
Taxable status date: The taxable status of real property according to its condition and ownership as of March 1st of each year.
Valuation date: All real property subject to taxation (that is assessed as of a March 1st taxable status date) is valued as of July 1st of the preceding year.
For purposes of the 2026 assessment roll, the taxable status date (condition and ownership of the property) is March 1, 2026 and the valuation date is July 1, 2025. The assessment of your home indicates the market value as of July 1, 2025. Restrictively, market changes after July 1, 2025 cannot be used in the 2026 assessments.
In summary, the 2026 assessments are valued at one hundred percent of market value as of July 1, 2025.
If you are assessed fairly, but you feel that your taxes are too high:
The assessor cannot assist you with tax matters, but only with matters pertaining to the assessed value of your property. (2)
If such a discussion does not result in a reduction in your assessment, and you still feel as though your assessment is too high, you may wish to contest your assessment. (3)
Should a homeowner wish to be heard, an in-person grievance hearing will be held on May 26, 2026 from 4:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. at the Patterson Town Hall, 1142 Route 311, Patterson NY.
