Not all towns use the 100 percent assessment value method. Therefore, the State assigns an equalization value that allows us to fairly compare tax rates. Webster's equalization value is currently 99.21 percent. The equalized tax rate is arrive at by multiplying the town tax rate by the equalization value. Of course, all of the above deals only with tax rates for town taxes.
Many people tend to focus more on an annual lump sum when thinking about property taxes.
For that comparison, as of January 1998, Webster falls smack in the middle of the pack for all Monroe County towns. Additionally, on the Town and County tax bill, different special district charges can apply to properties for services that are not included in the general tax rate. Aside from financial issues, your Webster Town government prides itself on providing top notch services to our residents.
