PROPERTY REVALUATION PROJECT ON HOLD
UNTIL NEXT YEAR
Property assessments in Ava will
remain are the current level for one more year.In March, the town board heard concerns from numerous residents
thatdata collected over the past 9
months needed further review before the property
revaluation project was finalized and accepted. With the concurrence oftown assessor Stephen Hunter, the town board
determined that the new assessments and land values should put on hold for one
year to allow for adjustments where necessary before being utilized in the 2011 tax roll.
Therefore, all town property owners were notified by mail in early May that assessment figures
contained in the impact letters received in early March are now invalid. When
the tentative tax roll was filed with Oneida County in April, assessments
figures for 2010 for most parcels are remained at the 2009 level.
Final adjustments to the tax
rolltook place during May and the final
roll will be submitted to the county by the Assessor at the beginning of June.
The new assessments will first be reflected in the school tax bills sent in
August of 2011.

information can be seen at the town's website: www.townofava.org.
The town's property revaluation project will not be completed until the 2011 Roll Year. The Ava Town Board has determined that the town's 2009 assessment figures will be used this year. Residents should be aware that assessment figures contained in the impact letters received in early March are now invalid. The impact notices will replaced by a change of assessment letter to be sent out in April.
The Town Board determined that the proposed new assessment data needed further review, which could not be properly and fairly completed prior to the filing of the Tentative Roll. Residents with concerns about the accuracy of information contained in the impact letters should plan to meet with the Assessor when he sits with the Tentative Roll in May. Office hours will be listed here at a later date.
