A Message from the Assessor The assessor is a local government official who estimates the value of real property containing approximately 6,500 parcels within the Town's boundaries. This value is then converted into an assessment, which is one component in the computation of real property tax bills. At the regular December 2009 Town Board Meeting, a resolution was approved to complete an assessment update for the 2010 Assessment Roll. Data Collector: Mike O'Brien – Part Time The Town of East Greenbush has an appointed assessor who is appointed by the Town Board for a period of six years. The assessor and staff maintain the assessment roll – the document that contains every property's assessment. To do this, the physical description, or inventory, and value estimate of every parcel of real property in the municipality is kept-up-to-date. The assessor also updates new construction, and major improvements to existing structures as to maintain a current value. In addition, the assessor administers property tax exemptions (STAR, Senior Enhanced STAR, Veterans, and Agriculture).We review every transfer in the municipality and the basic information on the buyer, seller and sale price is reviewed for accuracy. The assessment records are then updated.
