The Village Assessor continues to work on the revaluation of property in 2009, and an on-going assessment maintenance program to try and maintain assessments at their Equalized Value or “Fair Market Value”. Over the past year, the Village Assessor has been performing inspections and reviewing assessed values. Please note that assessments may not change from 2008 to 2009, and only property owners whose property changes in assessed value will receive a “Change of Assessment” notice by mail.

Property owners concerned about their assessment can schedule appointments with the Assessor during the Open Book Session, at the dates and times listed on the “Change of Assessment” notice. Property owners are encouraged to schedule an Open Book meeting with the Assessor as soon as they receive their notice of reassessment. Property owners that wait until the end of the Open Book Session to schedule a meeting with the assessor may not get an opportunity to speak with the Assessor.

Property owners who are not satisfied with their assessments after meeting with the Assessor during Open Book can appeal their assessment to the Board of Review. Objection forms are available from the Clerk-Treasurer’s Office. These forms MUST be filed with the Clerk-Treasurer BEFORE your objection can be heard by the Board of Review.
