Assessor's Department
The Assessor's Office administers all aspects of real property assessment in the Town of Queensbury. The town, county and school budgets determine the amount of tax to be raised by local property owners. The Assessor's Office lists all property in the Town and estimates the value of each parcel. The Assessment determines the share each property owner will pay toward the total budgeted amount. Queensbury has over 13,200 parcels and a total assessed value of over $3,160,000,000.
The office staff of six (five full-time, including the Assessor and one part-time employee) are trained to assist the public with general data, valuation and equity questions, exemptions and grievances.
The administration of exemptions from the real property tax is an ever-expanding duty of the Assessment office. There are many exemptions allowed by law, the newest and most far reaching being the STAR program. STAR denotes School Tax Relief and is available in some amount to all primary resident owners.
Our office door is always open. Please stop in to ask any questions you may have.
