How
is Real Property Assessed?
 |
Before
assessing any parcel of property, the assessor
estimates its market value. Market value is how
much a property would sell for in an open market under normal conditions. To estimate market
values, the assessor must be familiar with all aspects
of the local real estate market. |
 |
A
property's value can be estimated in three different
ways. First, property is compared to others
similar to it that have sold recently, using only sales
where the buyer and seller both acted without undue
pressure. This method is called the market
approach and is normally used to value residential,
vacant, and farm properties. |
 |
The
second way is to calculate the cost, using today's
labor and material prices, to replace the structure
with a similar one. If the structure is not new,
the assessor determines the depreciation since it was
built. The resulting value is added to an
estimate of the market value of the land. This
method, called the cost approach, is used to value
special purpose and utility properties. |
 |
The
third way is to analyze how much income a property
(like an apartment building, store or factory) will
produce if rented. Operating expenses,
insurance, maintenance costs, financing terms, and how
much money is expected to be earned are
considered. This method is called the income
approach. |
 |
Once
the assessor estimates the market value of a property
its assessment is calculated. New York State law
provides that all property within a municipality be
assessed at a uniform percent of market value.
The level of assessment can be 5 percent, 20 percent,
50 percent, or any other faction, up to 100
percent. Everyone pays his or her fair share of
taxes as long as every property in a locality is
assessed at the same percent of value. |
 |
For
example, a house with a market value of $100,000,
located in a municipality that assesses at 15 percent of
value, would have an assessment of $15,000. The
assessment is multiplied by the applicable tax rate to
determine the tax bill. |

What
is a Property Tax Complaint and How do I File?
 |
It
is up to individual property owners to monitor their
own assessments. Taxpayers who feel they are not
being fairly assessed should meet with their assessor
before the tentative assessment roll is
established. In the Village of Bronxville the
Tentative Assessment Roll is published on February 1st
of each year. If you feel that your property is
assessed too high you may file a complaint and ask for
a review on your assessment. |

What
kind of property is assessed?

any permanent structures attached to it. Some
examples or real property are houses, gas stations,
office buildings, vacant land, motels, shopping
centers, saleable natural resources (oil, gas,
timber), farms, apartment buildings, factories,
restaurants, and, in most instances, mobile homes. |
