NOTICE FROM THE ASSESSOR: The Spafford Town Board has decided to conduct a Town-wide Reassessment. One of the first steps is Data Collection, which is a complete update of all the property data in the Town. This information will then be used to update property assessments. Data collectors will visit all Town properties with improvements (buildings) and measure the exterior of all buildings, take digital photos of the exterior of buildings and update the information in the Town records. The property owner does not need to be present, but if the property owner is on site, the data collector may ask questions to verify property information (#of bathrooms, bedrooms, etc...). Once the data collection phase is complete, a summary of the information gathered will be mailed to each property owner. If property owners would like interior inspections of their property, the owner would contact the Assessor with their request. If there are any questions, please contact the Assessor. Thank you. Jeff Lowe, Assessor 315-673-4144 (o), 315-783-4104 (c) | SHORT TERM RENTAL REMINDER ANNUAL REGISTRATION with the Codes Office is required for ALL short term rentals.
