Hurley undertakes Systematic Assessment Review process for 2024 tax season

Posted on: March 4, 2024 - 2:19pm

For the 2024 tax season, the Town of Hurley has undertaken a Systematic Assessment Review process in order to bring property values up to current standards and maintain the New York State-derived Equalization Rate of 100% (full-market value).

Hurley has not had a townwide reassessment since 2013. Therefore, there is inequity. This means the gap between assessed values and market values is growing, which directly impacts tax rates.

The Systematic Assessment Review process DOES NOT mean everyone who experiences an assessment increase will have their taxes increase. In fact, many properties in Hurley will experience no noticeable change in tax liability, and some might have a decrease in tax liability. 

For complete information about the Systematic Assessment Review and to understand how it related to property taxes, CLICK HERE.

For historical reference, details about the sales of residential properties in Hurley from Jan. 10, 2020, to Feb. 7, 2024, can viewed by CLICKING HERE, and details about residential vacant land sales in 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 can be viewed by CLICKING HERE.

All property owners in Hurley are allowed to challenge their assessments. An Informal Assessment Review Form (CLICK HERE) can be filled out and filed with the Town Assessor’s Office. The form can be emailed to assessor@townofhurley.org, dropped off at the Assessor's Office in the Town Hall, 10 Wamsley Place, during Monday-Thursday business hours through April 4; or mailed to Hurley Assessor's Office, Town Hall, 10 Wamsley Place, P.O. Box 569, Hurley, NY 12443.

Those filing an informal request should provide as much evidence as possible to support the request. For example, if you are disputing a 2024 assessment due to the condition of a property, please include photos. 

Regardless of whether an informal request is made, an assessment challenge may be brought to the Hurley Board of Assessment Review on Grievance Day, which will be held from 2-4 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. Tuesday, May 28, in the Town Hall. Additional details about Grievance Day will be posted on the Town website and Facebook page as it draws nearer.

The Hurley Assessor's Office can be reached by phone at (845) 331-7474, option 4.
