• Upon arrival at your property, the data collector will first either knock or ring the doorbell.

• They will request to measure the exterior and perform a short interior inspection.

• If you are not home, they will measure the exterior of the unit (if possible).

• A second visit will be made after 5 but before dusk – or on a Saturday.

• If you are not home on the second visit, Tylerwill mail you a postcard requesting you make an appointment to complete the interior inspection.

Data Mailer

Once the data has been collected and entered into the database, a property inventory form or data mailer will be mailed to each residential property. When you receive it, we ask that you carefully review the dataon file for your property.

• If the data is correct – do nothing. • If it is not correct – make the change

directly on the form and return it to Tyler.

While an updated form will not be mailed to you, the data will be available on the Consortium website for your review.

How will condos be valued?

How will condos be valued?

Ossining Reassessment 201611

• Per NY state law, condos are currently valued as a commercial property using the income approach.

• Rather than determining the value based on sales of similar units, the amount the unit would rent for as if it were an apartment is used, minus typical expenses. The resulting net income is divided by a capitalization rate (similar to an interest rate and typically between 5-8%).

• During this reassessment, Tyler will estimate both the market value using sales of similar units AND the income value.

• Once ALL the new assessments are calculated and compiled, the Town will make a decision regarding whether to adopt Homestead.

Market Approach

Ossining Reassessment 201612

• Condos are a unique property type and will not be compared to other property types such as single family homes.

• Condo complexes are similar to neighborhoods – in that the market forces are unique – as are the amenities. Whenever possible, only sales of units within a complex are used for comparison.

What is Homestead?

Ossining Reassessment 201613

• Homestead is a tax policy option available to municipalities that implement a reassessment.

• It creates two tax classes, homestead and non-homestead.

• The preliminary assessments for all parcels in the Town of Ossining will not be available until early 2016. This is the data necessary for a tax shift analysis by which the Town can then make an informed decision about the use Homestead.

• While the Town plans to review this tax shift analysis at that time, no conclusions should be drawn about the Town's potential adoption of Homestead until then.
