With the exception of the incorporated villages, there is at least one assessor in each of Dutchess County's municipalities. Since the villages adopt the towns' assessment rolls, the town assessor serves them as well.

Assessors are the foundation of real property tax administration.  All concerns, problems, or questions related to the assessment of real property must be addressed FIRST with a local assessor before they are carried to another level. Such concerns may be related to property ownership, condition and status of properties, mapping, value, location and exemptions. Real property includes, residential, vacant, farm, industrial, commercial, wholly exempt properties and mineral and air rights.

The following is a listing of local assessors who are currently in office and ready to assist you.
