Assessor Time Line

March 1 is the Taxable Status Date

Taxable Status Date is the cutoff date for the assessment changes that affect the upcoming year’s tax bills. It is the deadline for submission of any exemption forms including STAR, Veterans, and Elderly. It is the ending date for change information for properties that have sold. It is the cut off for any property going into Tax Exempt Status. The one exception to this is changes that occur to assessments through the grievance process (see below). Note: If you purchase a property after Taxable Status Day, the tax bill will come out in the prior owner’s name, contact the Town Clerk ahead of time to be sure that you get your bill. It is the property owner’s responsibility to pay their taxes whether or not they receive their bill.
