New Home Valuations Now Available Online -See Whether Your Taxes Will Go Up or Down

At long last – the Scarsdale Village Assessors Office has the announced the results of the Village-wide revaluation of all Village properties. The new valuations have now been posted online – allowing homeowners to find their new assessed value and calculate your estimated taxes for 2015.

Here's how to find out where you stand:

Go to www.scarsdale.com and click on the On-Line Property Inquiry link in the middle of the home page of the site.

On that page, look up your home address and find your new valuation which is highlighted by dark blue bars.

Find your new home value, and multiply the assessed value by a factor of .02241 (the 2015 estimated tax rate) to find out what your real estate taxes will be under the new assessment.

For example, if your home is valued at $1,000,000, multiply that by .02241 to find that your new estimated taxes would be $22,410.

To see whether your taxes have gone up or down, look at your record on the site to see your 2013 tax levy. Remember these new valuations will not go into effect until 2015, so for 2014 you will pay taxes based on your previous assessed value.

If you have questions about your new valuation, the Village Assessor's office will direct you to speak to a representative from Tyler Technologies, the company that conducted the revaluation. They will be conducting informal review meetings for the purposes of answering your questions.

Meetings will be held from March 31 – April 26 during the following hours:

Monday - Friday ............. 9 am - 5 pm
Monday and Wednesday ........ 6 pm - 8 pm
Saturdays ....... 11 am - 4 pm

You can make an appointment for a meeting with Tyler Technologies at Scarsdale Congregational Church by calling 722-1324, between 9 and Monday through Friday. All informal review meetings will be held in the basement-level offices of the Scarsdale Congregational Church at 1 Heathcote Road and residents are asked to park across the street.
