In addition, the Assessor retains and updates inventory records, processes and stores information on all deed transfers and administers all property tax exemptions. Some methods of determining a property's value include the sale price of the property and/or comparable properties, new home construction costs, cost of renovations and/or additions, replacement costs, or rental information.

Submit Before the Deadline: Applications must be filed with the Assessor's Office by March 1st each year. Assessor's Office The School Tax Relieve (STAR) Program is a New York State program that helps homeowners lower their school property taxes. If you own your home and it is your primary residence (the place where you live most of the year), you may be eligible for STAR. How it Works STAR gives you a break on your school property taxes. Instead of lowering the school tax rate itself, STAR reduces the taxable value of your home (or provides you with a check, depending on which STAR you qualify for). You do not need to reapply every year once you are enrolled, unless your situation changes. Two Types of STAR Basic STAR For homeowners of any age. Income must be $500,000 or less. Enhanced STAR For homeowners 65 and older (or turning 65 by the end of the calendar year) Income must be below a set limit Provides a bigger savings than Basic STAR How You Receive STAR STAR Credit Check: You will receive a check each year from the NYS Department of Taxation and Finance. This is the most common method used today. STAR Exemption: Some long-time homeowners may still see their savings directly on their school tax bill, but new applicants only receive the credit check. Apply Online Go to the New York State STAR Registration page: https://www.tax.ny.gov/star Click “Register for the STAR Credit” Follow the prompts and fill in your information. At the end, you’ll receive a confirmation number — keep this for your records. Property Assessment Appeals If you believe your property assessment is too high, you have the right to appeal your assessment . This process is called filing a grievance . Your property taxes are based on your assessment, so if you feel your property is assessed higher than its market value, you may ask the Board of Assessment Review (BAR) to review it. When is Grievance Day? Grievance Day is held annually on the 1st Thursday after the 4th Tuesday of May. On this day, the Board of Assessment Review (BAR) meets to hear formal complaints from property owners. In the Town of LeRay, Grievance Day is held at the Town Offices. Steps to File an Appeal Get the Form Complaint on Real Property Assessment Form RP-524 Complete the Form Provide your property details and explain why you believe your assessment is incorrect. Include supporting evidence (such as recent appraisals, comparable sales, or photos). Submit the Form by Deadline The complaint must be filed with the Assessor’s Office on or before Grievance Day. Attend Grievance Day (Optional) You may appear before the BAR to explain your case in person, but it is not required if you have submitted all your paperwork. What Happens Next? The BAR will review your complaint and evidence. After their decision, you will be notified in writing whether your assessment has been reduced or left unchanged. If you disagree with the BAR’s decision, you may pursue further appeal through: Small Claims Assessment Review (SCAR) — for most homeowners. Certiorari Proceedings — through State Supreme Court (usually for larger properties or businesses).
