Town of Ellicott
Assessor's Department
It is the responsibility of the Assessor to place a fair and equitable assessment on each of the 6,900 parcels within the Town of Ellicott. In January 1995, our Assessing Department completed an in-house project that brought our assessment to full value with total assessed valuation in the town of Ellicott now placed at over $450 Million Dollars. This Department also records property sale transactions and administers exemption programs for senior citizens, veterans, commercial and industrial properties. The Assessing Department has been integrated into a computerized data base system to maximize efficiency, respond to inquiries, and to be compatible with New York State standards.
Assessment
Assessment Information on assessment for properties in the Town, such as property tax records, tax maps and property tax exemptions is available to the public during regular office hours at the Assessors Office at Town Hall. For assistance call 665-5317 (ext. 206). Partial property tax exemptions are available for veterans and senior citizens. Check with the Veteran’s Administration for eligibility and for Veteran’s discounts. The senior citizen's exemption is based on age (minimum 65) and income. Application for exemptions must be made annually. Low income Senior Citizens should check with the Assessor for information as to whether their income makes them eligible for the Standard Senior Exemption. Forms can be obtained at the Assessor's office.
