Greenville about to reevaluate properties

Aug 25, 2017 2:39 pm
Anthony Fiducia reports for Columbia-Greene Media that some Greenville residents have been grumbling about the upcoming property revaluation in the town. Greenville last reevaluated home values in 2003 and 1973. Town Assessor Gordan Bennett sent a letter to residents about the process a few weeks ago, with several residents complaining the process is derogatory and unfair. Bennett said residents do not have to let an inspector inside. “If you don’t allow a data collector in, then the information still needs to be compiled in some form and then it will have to be estimated,” Bennett said. “Estimations are not as good as actual information and there could be errors in those estimations — so from my perspective — from an accuracy perspective, I would like to see everyone comply with the project because then they could ensure that the information that we have is correct.” Now he is waiting for the board to start the process. “When they [the board] tell me ‘OK, let’s do a reval,’ then we’re gonna reappraise everybody, all in one year, just like we did in 2003,” Bennett said. “Same kind of deal, but those changes are gonna be integrated into that new reassessment.” Read the full story in HudsonValley360.com.
