Levied locally in New York: local assessors set assessed values (final assessment rolls published in most towns July 1), and school districts and municipalities bill on that value — rates vary widely by locality. STAR and senior/veterans/disability exemptions can lower the bill; assessments can be contested (grievance, then small-claims review by July 31).
