The mission of the Wheatland Assessor’s Office is to value all real property within the Town in a fair and equitable manner for taxation purposes. This process adheres to the New York State Real Property Tax Assesment Cycle<\/a>. The Town Assessor prepares the Assessment Roll that lists information for every property in the Town. When the Assessment Roll is finalized each year it becomes the base upon which annual real property tax levies\u00a0are derived. An accurate Assessment Roll is vital to the delivery of public services and maintaining the fiscal strength of local Town government. The Assessor’s Office interacts with the public in numerous ways, including disseminating information about properties in Wheatland to the public and assisting property owners with assessment questions. The Assessor’s Office also supports the Assessment Review Board at grievance hearings.<\/p>\n Services provided by the Assessor’s Office include the following:<\/p>\n See\u00a0Assessor’s Office\u00a0FAQs <\/span>for answers to common inquiries. Contact the Assessor’s Office<\/a> for all other questions.<\/p>\n The Town of Wheatland publishes tentative and final assessment rolls annually. You can check your property’s assessment, market value and related information, as well as review the assessments of other properties in the community. The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance <\/a>encourages you to check your assessment annually.

There are two levels of formal review:<\/p>\n Commonly referred to as the “grievance” process<\/a>” is conducted at the Town level. Any person who owns property in the Town can file a grievance. Only the assessment on the current tentative assessment roll can be grieved, meaning you can’t grieve assessments from prior years. There is no cost to grieve an assessment and it does not require you to hire a lawyer. New York State recommends<\/a> that you do your homework before pursuing a form review of your assessment, including developing an estimate for the market value of your property<\/a>.<\/p>\n Complete and file all Grievance Forms at the Town Clerk’s Office. The Town’s Assessment Review Board is responsible for hearing\u00a0assessment grievances. \u00a0You have the right to attend the hearing of the\u00a0Assessment Review Board\u00a0and to present statements and\/or documentation in support of your grievance. You may appear personally, with or without your attorney or other representative.\u00a0The Town Assessor is\u00a0required by New York State regulation to attend all formal hearings of the Assessment Review Board and has the right to be heard on any property assessment complaint. The Town Assessor does not participate in determination of the grievance. The Assessment Review board deliberates and makes a determination regarding all grievances. You will receive a notice of the Assessment Review Board’s determination. You may seek a judicial review of your assessment if you are dissatisfied with the Board’s determination. The Town of Wheatland Assessment Review Board meets every year on the 4th Tuesday of May between the hours of4PM to 8PM.<\/strong><\/p>\n In order to pursue judicial review you must first go through administrative review. There are two judicial review options: a Small Claims Assessment Review\u00a0(a low-cost option available to most homeowners)\u00a0 or Tax certiorari proceedings in State Supreme Court (to pursue this option, you should contact an attorney).<\/p>\n The Town of Wheatland Assessor\u2019s Office administers partial tax exemptions, allowed under the NYS Real Property Tax Law, for those who meet certain eligibility requirements. <\/span>Some of the most common residential tax exemptions include:<\/span><\/p>\n Please note that It is imperative that you contact the Town\u00a0of Wheatland Assessor\u2019s Office to make sure you can meet all State requirements in order to qualify for any exemption. We will be glad to assist you at any time with your questions. Applications are available in the\u00a0Wheatland Assessor\u2019s Office (Wheatland Municipal Building, 22 Main Street in Scottsville), or online through the New York State Office of Real Property Tax Services. The filing deadline for any exemption is March 1 of each year. Please contact the Town of Wheatland Assessor’s Office with any questions.<\/span><\/p>\n The New York State School Tax Relief Program <\/a>(more commonly known as the STAR Program) is a school tax rebate program offered in New York State aimed at reducing school district property taxes on the primary residences of New York residents. There have been some changes in how certain homeowners will apply for STAR, and in how they receive their STAR benefit. The STAR Program continues to provide much-needed property tax relief to New York State\u2019s homeowners.<\/p>\n You will register with New York State instead of applying with your assessor.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n You will receive a STAR credit in the form of a check, rather than receiving a property tax exemption (if you qualify for STAR). The dollar value of the credit will be the same as the property tax exemption.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n You do not need to register separately to receive the Enhanced benefit if you\u2019ve already registered to receive the Basic benefit. When you register for the STAR credit, the Tax Department will automatically review your application to determine whether you are eligible for the Basic or Enhanced STAR benefit amount.
