Property Revaluation in 1999 in the Buffalo-Niagara Region.
Regular revaluation helps ensure that property-owners are taxed at fair levels.
In a climate of rapid development and within-region migration, towns and cities should strive to meet the New York State goal of completing comprehensive property revaluations every three years. ORPS encourages communities to conduct either a revaluation or an update at least every three years. Revaluations conducted within the past three years are considered current, those conducted in the last three to five years are considered somewhat dated, while revaluations older than five years are considered outdated. Revaluation rates vary by county. Orleans was the only county in which every municipality conducted a revaluation or an update within the past three years.
