    2. The assessments published on the upcoming tentative and final assessment rolls are based on the property’s condition and ownership as of Taxable Status Date.
    3. If it is a year when the town is conducting a townwide reassessment, assessment impact notices will be mailed out on or before this date.

Local budget dates

If you are concerned with the amount of property taxes being collected in Irondequoit, you may wish to be involved with the local budgeting processes. There are public meetings you can attend and voice your opinion, and you also have the opportunity to vote on your school budget.

For school district taxes, in addition to voting on the budget, you can attend budget meetings. Generally, the budget meetings are held in the spring through early April.

For town and county taxes, budget meetings are typically held in the fall through mid-November. Special districts (fire districts, sewer districts, etc.) also hold public meetings, but the dates vary. Contact the district for more information.
