The Caledonia Town Assessor is appointed by the Town Board, must attain New York State certification and serves a six-year term. The Office of the Assessor is regulated by the NYS Real Property Tax Law (RPTL) and the Office of Real Property Services (ORPS). The responsibility of this office is to estimate the value of real property within the Town boundaries. The value is then converted into an assessment, which is one component in the computation of real property tax bills. The Town of Caledonia is the designated assessing authority for the Town and Village of Caledonia and for the school districts for Town of Caledonia properties. The Assessor’s office is also responsible for processing all real property exemptions. The equalization rate for the Town of Caledonia 2020 tentative Roll is 98%

2022 REASSESSMENT TOWN OF CALEDONIA

The Town of Caledonia is scheduled to do a reval or
assessment update for 2022.  Our equalization rate has dropped drastically from 100% (currently 93% or lower) which not only can increase the tax rate, but also reduces the dollar amount of exemptions that people qualify for.

Despite COVID sales are coming in higher than the assessed values of homes.  There is still a demand for homes and our inventory is low. Change of Assessment Notices will be mailed to all tax payers in March 2022 with instructions if you have questions or concerns
