Preliminary town equalization rates released

NORWICH – The Chenango County Real Property Tax Services Department shared projected equalization rates last week for local municipalities.
The figures are based on towns’ tentative assessment rolls and may be used for school budgeting purposes. Shown below across a three-year period, the rates are used by the New York State Tax Services department to determine each town and the City of Norwich’s county and school tax rate. They are based on a combination of town’s assessors property value data and actual property sales that occurred across the state during a specified period.
The rates for 2012 were based on sales from June 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011.

2010 2011 2012
City of Norwich 66 68.00 69.00
Town of Afton 64 61.00 61.00
Town of Bainbridge 100 100 100.00
Town of Columbus 100 105.29 100.00
Town of Coventry 100 100 95.00
Town of German 45 44.50 44.50
Town of Greene 100 100 94.00
Town of Guilford 57.60 100 100.00
Town of Lincklaen 61 64 64.00
Town of McDonough 75 77.57 77.37
Town of New Berlin 86 100 100.00
Town of N. Norwich 63 66 65.00
Town of Norwich 51.59 52 52.75
Town of Otselic 46 48.10 48.00
Town of Oxford 63 67 67.00
Town of Pharsalia 54.23 54.72 55.04
Town of Pitcher 47.50 49 49.00
Town of Plymouth 53.50 55 55.00
Town of Preston 42 44 43.00
Town of Sherburne 81.50 82.50 78.00
Town of Smithville 63.30 66.50 67.00
Town Smyrna 62 65 65.00

Reassessing properties to bring equalization rates up to 100 percent across the board, as the towns of Bainbridge, Columbus, Coventry, Greene, Guilford and New Berlin have done, does not automatically result in higher taxes and does not determine the town or city’s tax rate itself. Equalization rates only come into play when determining county and school taxes: the higher the equalization rate, the lower the state sets the property taxes per 1,000 acres that is needed to afford county and school budgets.
