Assessor's Office

Responsibilities of the Assessor’s Office
The Assessor’s Office is responsible for assessing all town property and administering property tax exemptions. Assessment rolls are open for public inspection during weekday working hours. All property in the Town of Monroe is to be assessed at an equitable and uniform value in order to maintain fair, equitable, and uniform property values that accurately reflect changes in economic conditions and real estate values.

*  Assessors are interested only in fairly assessing property in their assessing unit. If, after reviewing the assessment data of comparable properties in your market area, your assessmen appears to be in line but your tax bill seems too high, the assessor cannot change that complaints to the assessor or the Board of Assessment review must be about how the property is assessed. Complaints about high taxes should be addressed directly to the taxing jurisdictions,  such as the school district board, the county legislature, or the town board, who set the tax rates. The assessor does not set budgets or the tax rates resulting from the budgets.

Data collection is a process where the assessor, or a trained employee of the assessor’s office, will visit every parcel in town to make an on‐site inspection and take a photograph. Each representative of the assessor’s office will carry identification. You can always call the Assessor’s office to confirm if a Data Collector is out doing inspections of properties.

If you purchased your home after the 2016‐2017 school year you can apply for the STAR Credit Check with the NYS Department of Tax and Finance at https://www.tax.ny.gov/pit/property/star/ or by calling (518) 457‐2036. The only way to get a STAR exemption is if you had it prior to 2016.

*IMPORTANT ENHANCED STAR EXEMPTION UPDATE*
IF YOUR ARE TURNING 65 AND ARE INTERESTED IN GOING FROM BASIC TO ENHANCED STAR
Homeowners will no longer be required to apply with the assessor if they had an ownership change or if they aged into the Enhanced STAR exemption.

New York State will notify local assessors of Basic STAR recipients who become eligible for Enhanced STAR (rather than requiring seniors to apply to their assessors). Property owners who have a change of ownership will report it to the NYS Tax Department using the Homeowner Benefit Portal at www.tax.ny.gov.
If internet access is not available you may contact NYS at (518) 457‐2036.
