Assessor’s Hours:
Monday through Friday, 9:00 am to 4:00 pm
Assessor’s Responsibility:
To produce a fair and equitable assessment roll each year for the Town of Riga and the Village of Churchville by maintaining accurate records of real property ownership and physical characteristics; by carefully analyzing the local real estate market to determine equitable assessments that fairly distribute the total tax burden among all property owners based on the market value of their property; and by correctly determining eligibility for real property tax exemptions. The overriding goal is for no one to pay more or less than his or her fair share of the overall tax levy.
Homeowner Tax Rebate Credit (HTRC)
The homeowner tax rebate credit is a one-year program providing direct property tax relief to about 2.5 million eligible homeowners in 2022.
If you’re eligible and you haven’t received your check, you generally can expect to receive it between the time that school tax bills are issued and when the school tax payments are due in your community.
