MISSION
The mission of the City of Geneva Assessor's Office is to maintain uniform
standard assessments of all real property within the City of Geneva,
pursuant to Article 3, Title 1, Sub-Section 305 of the NYS Real Property Tax
Law. This uniform standard is considered to be current to a full
market value standard as of the most recent (as needed) full
value assessment update. In so doing, it is necessary to 1) maintain
property records and computer assessment files, 2) continue upgrading office
procedure and equipment necessary to maintain uniform assessments, 3) apply
all applicable NYS and local Real Property Tax Laws as they pertain to
assessment procedure and exemptions, and 4) maintain all records and files
in such a fashion that they are accessible to state and county governments,
real estate professional agencies, and to the general public.
