The Town of Philadelphia has applied to New York State Dept of Taxation and Finance to conduct a townwide Real Property Revaluation for the 2026 tax year. The last revaluation was conducted in 2008 and because of the time span, our property equalization rate has dropped to 70%. A revaluation will adjust property values to 100% while reducing the tax rate - meaning we reduce the tax rate to collect only the amount of money needed to run the Town. If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the Assessor, or you can contact me at the Town Office.
Thank you,
Jeff Sands
Town Supervisor
