2010 Tentative
Assessment Roll Available
Dear Property Owners,
Please be advised that the 2010 Tentative
Assessment Roll for the T/O Red Hook, V/O Red
Hook and V/O Tivoli has been filed and is
available for inspection at the Assessment
Office located in the Town Hall at 7340 S.
Broadway, Red Hook, N.Y. It is also
available at the Dutchess County web site
www.co.dutchess.ny.us where you can go to
quick links then Mapping/GIS followed by parcel
access--- parcel mapping---select a municipality
and then search by parcel, owner or address.
I would encourage you to review your assessed
value and also the physical data about your
property that helps to create your assessment.
This would include things such as house style
and age; # of bathrooms; # of bedroom; # of
rooms; heat and fuel type; basement type;
building size which is very important and based
on exterior measurements; garage type and size;
number, size and type of decks, porches or
patios; lot size; and other pertinent
information. If you find an error, please bring
it to our attention so we can establish a more
accurate data base which will hopefully lead to
a more equitable assessment roll.
For the last three years, as part of the ongoing
town wide revaluation program, Change of
Assessment Notices were mailed to property
owners at substantial expense. Last year, when
most assessments decreased, we received
virtually no feedback. Consequently, it was
decided to skip a mass mailing this year to help
with a leaner budget. Most assessments have
again decreased, some have stayed the same and
about 3% have increased for a variety of
reasons. Notices were sent to those properties
that did increase.
If, after reviewing information about your
property, you believe the assessment is wrong
you may wish to read “What To Do If You Disagree
With Your Assessment” published by NYS Office of
Real Property Services and/or file a complaint
on your real property assessment for 2009 with
the T/O Red Hook Board of Assessment Review.
This grievance process is available to property
owners and must be received in the Town Hall on
or before the fourth Tuesday of May which this
year is May 25, 2010.
I hope this information is useful. If you have
questions, please call 845-758-4604/4605. Thank
you for your attention.
Jeff Churchill, Assessor
