Message from the Assessor

My staff and I welcome you. Our office is available to assist you in any way possible with the assessment policies and procedures governed by the New York State Real Property Tax Law.

Our department is responsible for determining and maintaining assessments, property inventory records, ownership interest and maps on approximately 14,500 parcels. There are approximately 1,200 deeds processed yearly by our office. Our staff provides this information to taxpayers, appraisers, bankers, realtors, attorneys and others. There are also various real property tax exemptions available to eligible property owners.

We receive a copy of all building permits issued by the City of Troy. Our staff reviews and evaluates each of these permits for either inventory or assessment changes. This process also requires our appraisal staff to produce a supportable and defensible estimate of value from each permit. This value then becomes the new assessment.

We pride ourselves on providing friendly service for each and every individual.

City of Troy, Assessor
