Town Government
Assessor's Office
Property assessments, exemptions, and the annual assessment rolls for the Town of Schaghticoke.
The Assessor sets the assessed value of every property in the town — the figure your town, county, and school taxes are calculated from — and administers the exemptions that can lower your bill. Assessor Weir was reappointed by the Town Board in September 2025 to a six-year term running through September 2031.

What the numbers mean
13.13%
Equalization rate & level of assessment, 2025–26
1980
Year of the town's last revaluation
A level of assessment of 13.13% means a property assessed at $30,000 is being treated as worth roughly $228,000 at full market value. Because the town last revalued in 1980, assessments reflect relative values from that year, carried forward — which is why two similar houses can carry very different assessments.
The assessment year
These dates are fixed by state law and repeat every year. The one that catches people out is the tentative roll: by the time the final roll is filed in July, the window to challenge an assessment has closed.
- March 1 Taxable status date Your assessment and exemptions are set from your property’s status on this date. Exemption applications are due.
- July 1 (prior year) Valuation date The price level used for the whole assessment cycle is frozen as of this date.
- May 1 Tentative roll filed Proposed assessments become public. Check yours now, not after the final roll.
- 4th Tuesday of May Grievance Day The one day the Board of Assessment Review hears challenges to your assessment.
- July 1 Final roll filed Assessments are locked in for the year’s tax bills.

Contest your assessment
Think your assessment is too high? Talk to the Assessor first — many questions are settled with a conversation. If you still disagree, you can file a formal grievance with the Board of Assessment Review on Grievance Day, typically the fourth Tuesday in May. The Property Taxes page walks through how.
