Lorna Cherot Littleway is reporting in The Columbia Paper on the property reassessment underway Hillsdale. Suzette Booy, director of Columbia County’s Real Property Tax Department, made a presentation on the reassessment process to the town board at its monthly meeting Tue., Oct. 10. The reassessment will have an impact on school taxes in 2019, and on property taxes in 2020. So far, 150 parcels have been reassessed. Hillsdale has more than 1,500 residential properties and approximately 75 commercial and farm properties. During the process, a county data collector visits the properties to photograph buildings, front and rear. Both Booy and Town Supervisor Peter Cipkowski stressed the reassessment project is not an effort to increase town revenue. Instead, Booy said, the objective is to make sure everyone is assessed fairly. The reassessments are expected to be mailed to property owners by March 1. Grievance hearings will be held beginning May 1. The next meeting of the Hillsdale Town Board is 7 p.m., Tue., Nov. 14. Read the full story in The Columbia Paper.
