The Assessor’s Office is responsible for valuing all property within the Town of Monroe and administering property tax exemptions. Assessment rolls are available for public inspection during regular weekday business hours. All property in the Town of Monroe is assessed at a fair, equitable, and uniform value to ensure assessments accurately reflect current economic conditions and real estate market trends.
Assessors are concerned solely with the fair and accurate assessment of property within their assessing jurisdiction. If, after reviewing comparable properties in your market area, your assessment appears consistent but your tax bill seems high, the Assessor cannot adjust the assessment on that basis alone. Formal complaints to the Assessor or the Board of Assessment Review must relate specifically to how the property is assessed. Concerns regarding overall tax levels should be directed to the taxing authorities—such as the school district board, county legislature, or town board—which establish budgets and set tax rates. The Assessor does not determine budgets or tax rates.
Data collection is an ongoing process in which the Assessor or a trained staff member conducts on-site inspections of properties throughout the Town and takes exterior photographs. All representatives of the Assessor’s Office carry official identification. Residents may contact the Assessor’s Office at any time to verify whether data collection is currently taking place.
