The Assessor is available throughout the year to discuss assessment related topics.

Exemption Information:

The Town of Queensbury’s Assessors’ Office annually processes 10,667 property tax exemptions. Renewal applications are mailed in the fall every year for return by March 1^st. Due to the large volume of exemption forms mailed to property owners that require return, review and in many cases necessitate follow-up phone calls, we firmly adhere to the State legislated March 1^st exemption deadline for ALL exemption applications. As a public service we attempt to send second notices and even call as many people as we can to remind them that the exemptions are due, but staffing and time constraints limit our opportunity to reach everyone.

Important Dates to Remember Affecting the Assessment Process:

March 1 (Taxable Status Date) – deadline for all exemptions to be filed with the Assessor. Property improvements & condition, as of this date, will be the basis for the coming assessment cycle.
