 Most cities and towns publish their tentative assessment roll at the beginning of May. This is an ideal opportunity to check your assessment to ensure it's fair and you’ll receive the exemptions you’re entitled to.
The tentative assessment roll includes:
- your property’s assessment,
- the assessor’s estimate of the market value of your property (the amount your property could sell for), and
- information about any exemptions you receive.
To learn how to read an assessment roll, see Overview of the assessment roll.
You should also learn how to estimate the market value of your home.
Find your local assessment roll (municipalities outside of New York City)
- Visit our Municipal Profiles application.
- Select Search for a City, Town, or Village in the left menu.
- Choose your county from the drop-down menu, then press Select.
- Locate your city or town in the resulting list, then select its SWIS code. If there are multiple rows for your town, select the one with TOV (town outside village) in the Village Name column.
- Select Local Officials Addresses in the left menu.
- Use the link at the top of the table to go to your municipality's website. Your municipality's homepage should include a link to the assessment roll. If your municipality does not have a website, or the assessment roll is not posted on it, visit your county website instead.

Note: The application deadline to challenge your assessment in New York City was in March. However, you may still wish to review your assessment for future reference.
If you disagree
After reviewing your assessment, speak with your assessor if:
- you disagree with the assessor’s estimate of the market value of your home, or
- you did not receive an exemption you believe you're entitled to.
If you and your assessor cannot agree on your assessment or exemptions, you may contest your assessment. However, be aware the deadline to contest is Grievance Day, the fourth Tuesday in May in most jurisdictions. (Confirm with your assessor whether that date applies to your jurisdiction.)
