FAQs:
Uniform Percentage of Value
The percentage of market value (full value)  known as the level of assessment (LOA) is used by an assessing unit to establish uniform assessments. This value must appear on the tentative roll. Real Property Tax Law Section 305 specifies, “all real property in each assessing unit shall be assessed at a uniform percentage of value…”

Taxable Status Date – March 1, of Each Year
The ownership and physical condition of real property as of this date are assessed (valued) according to price fixed as of the valuation date. All applications for property exemptions must be filed with the assessor by this date.

Equalization Rate
“State equalization rate” means the percentage of full value at which taxable real property in a county, city, town or village is assessed as determined by the state board.” (RPTL Section 102) The rate is a ratio of the sum of the locally determined assessed values for all taxable parcels for a given assessment roll divided by ORPTS estimate of total full value for that same roll. The equalization rate is normally equal to the level of assessment.
