Please see below for a message from Paul Feiner regarding the two year phase in of assessment increases. Earlier this week the Greenburgh Town Board voted to authorize a two year phase in of tax increases for property owners who will experience an assessment increase that is greater than 25%. The phase in was authorized by the New York State Legislature (thanks to Senator Andrea Stewart Cousins and Assemblyman Tom Abinanti) and was signed into law by Governor Andrew Cuomo. The application and instructions appear below. Please note that property owners who wish to file must submit the application to the Assessor no later than September 15, 2016.
