Dear Ramapo Property Owner:

Property taxes are a critical part of your family budget.  To assure Ramapo taxpayers that their assessments are fair and accurate, the Town has initiated a new pilot program called the "Assessment Information Project."  This program is designed to provide Town property owners with a better understanding of their property assessment and the grievance process.

The major aspects of our new program are:

·        Online Help at www.ramapo.org

See the "Property Owner's Toolkit"

·        Assessor's Information Meetings:

May 3 - Finkelstein Library - 7:00 pm

May 4 - Suffern Library - 6:45 pm

May 9 - Ramapo Town Hall - 12:00 noon

May 10 - Ramapo Town Hall - 7:00 pm

·        Grievance Filing Period:

April 28 - May 24, 2011

Additional staff will be available in Town Hall

to assist residents filing grievances

Typically, condo owners file as a group.  However, if the Board or an individual condo owner has any questions or needs help, call our Assessor, Scott Shedler, directly at 845-357-5100 Ext. 255.

Sincerely yours,

Christopher P. St. Lawrence

Supervisor
