The purpose of this project was to bring all assessments in the City of Watervliet to current market levels to insure that each tax payer pays only their fair share of the property tax burden.  You now have an opportunity to schedule an informal meeting with Staff from Municipal Assessment Services to present information supporting a change in your new tentative assessment. Contact numbers are available and operators will be on duty to answer your calls starting March 5th between the hours of 9AM to 3PM.

If you are not satisfied with the results of your informal meeting, you are entitled to file for a hearing at this year’s Grievance Day scheduled for Tuesday May 22, 2012
