Please take time to read this week’s Friday Memo- -a general recap of the week and upcoming news.  As always, should you like more information, I ask that you call the office, e-mail or stop in.  Thanks for your continued support. 

 

    1. 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/
