Change of Assessment notices will be mailed out during the week of April 18th (See Property Valuation Page). Complaints on Assessment must be in writing on Form RP-524, submitted together with your supporting documentation and 6 copies, and received in the assessor's office by close of business on Grievance Day. You are not required to appear in person; you may drop off your complaint and the Board will give it the same consideration as if you appeared. You are not given a decision on Grievance Day. The Board will reconvene at a later time to make their determinations and those are mailed to you by the last day of June.

If you would like to appear before the Board, you must schedule an appointment at 518-899-2584.  Appointments are in 10 minute increments, are first-come first served from 10:00 a.m. to noon and 6:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m. If demand requires, we will extend these hours.

You will need to have your complaint prepared in advance, with supporting documentation, and six copies delivered to the Assessor's Office no later than Monday, May 23rd. Grievance Day is Tuesday, May 24th.

You may also choose to have your appointment done by call-in session with the Board. If you choose this option, your complaint must be received in our office prior to your call. Your session will be held to the time you reserve so that others with reservations are not inconvenienced.

If you would like to avoid in person  contact, a drop slot for complaints is located in the Town Hall directly outside of the Assessors Office.
