At the May 13, 2026 meeting, the Town’s Assessor discussed the property assessment process, emphasizing New York State’s recommendation for a three-year reassessment cycle to maintain 100% assessments and the Town Board’s role in deciding on reassessment schedules. Topics included equalization rates, tax impacts, grievance procedures, and the judicial handling of small claims, underscoring the policy-level decisions the Board faces regarding assessment frequency. Although no specific procurement was approved, this signals ongoing policy and operational decisions around assessment that may later lead to outsourced reassessment services, valuation tools, or public communication support.Vendors providing assessment software, mass appraisal services, or taxpayer education materials can monitor future agendas as the Board considers whether to undertake reassessments and how to manage the workload.

The Board was reminded it controls if and when reassessments occur; may seek help if adopting a more frequent cycle.
