Walton assessor urges filing of 2025 cyclical reassessment plan, says exemptions being mailed
Summary
Assessor Penny Haddad told the Town Board the town has not filed its Plan for Cyclical Reassessment for 2025 and must submit by Dec. 31 to seek reassessment aid; she said exemption renewal notices will be mailed in December or early January and that the town may contract with KLW to support reassessment work.
Penny Haddad, Walton’s assessor, told the Town Board on Dec. 9 that the town has not yet submitted a Plan for Cyclical Reassessment for 2025 and that submission by Dec. 31 is required if the town intends to apply for reassessment aid.
Haddad quoted guidance from the White Plains Office of Real Property Tax Services while reviewing the timeline and forms: “We have not received the Cyclical Reassessment Plan for the 2025 reassessment,” she said, adding she will speak with Vic Gullo the following Monday to finalize forms. Haddad said the plan may be amended after Dec. 31 and that, once finalized, the town can file a schedule for updating and reassessment, including a contract with KLW as previously discussed.
Haddad also advised that exemption renewal notices for agricultural exemptions and the senior partial exemption will be printed and mailed in December or early January and provided a cost breakdown for again increasing the senior partial exemption this year.
She cited three NY State RP‑1573 guidance documents and said she is available to meet with board members about questions on applying for reassessment aid.
The assessor’s timeline and any decision to contract for reassessment work will affect timing for property value updates and potential eligibility for state aid; the board did not take a formal vote on the matter at the meeting.
