- Accurate Appraisal has completed their 2024 Market Revaluation and the average Assessed Property Value has increased 54%. Remember that property tax increases are not primarily determined by increases in Assessed Value. They are determined by the increases in the taxes levied by all the taxing entities: Town, Schools, and County. If your Assessed Value increased by more than 54%, than your property taxes will also increase based on the new assessment. Open Book is scheduled for next Monday and Tuesday. https://townofdelavan.com/2024/07/23/2024-market-value-update-faq/
