Welcome to the Town of Cuba Property Reassessment Project web page! We hope you will find the contents useful and informative. New and timely announcements will be added periodically to keep you up to date with new developments. As you may know, the Town has directed my office to update all property assessments to 100% of value. My staff and I have completed some of the necessary steps in this process, to update and correct the property description data. To assist with technical support and real property appraisal expertise, the Town has contracted with JD Brearley Consultants LLC. By now you have received from the contractor a letter of announcement and introduction to the reassessment project. On the back of the letter we have included some important information about what you as a property owner can expect to occur from the reassessment. Additionally, a phone number is included for those of you who would like to attend the Public Information Meetings we have scheduled. For your convenience, we have arranged for evening and Saturday meetings, to fit everyone’s busy schedule. The contractor will also be taking digital photos of all buildings in the Town The NYS Office of Real Property Services has also developed a wide variety of informational resources about assessments and taxes, including a video with plenty of useful information for the general public.
