The assessments are in appropriate and transfer the tax burden from the most expensive homes with the most land to the least expensive homes with the least land. A $5 mil house on an acre should be assessed proportionately to a $750k house on .2 acres, not disproportionately.

The town board should take notice of the unusually high number of homes for sale, with many not selling unless the homeowner is willing to accept a low offer from a potential buyer. This at a time when homes in neighboring towns, like Larchmont, are selling quickly, often at asking price. The growing frustration of watching the unreasonable rise of Scarsdale taxes ,the wasting of countless hours and money to fund inaccurate revals, plans to stop leaf collection, and grass clipping pickup has created the perception that the Scarsdale we once new is rapidly disappearing. Seems the governing body is on a mission to do "less with more". I wonder, if instead of raising taxes while eliminating services, we had an independent auditor-review to determine if the town is most effectively utilizing our tax dollars.

In 2014, our house was finally valued properly.....less than two years later it was assessed over 22% higher--based on a completely different model.

We bought our house last year and got assessed way above the sale price. I don't even see our house on the list of the sale comp list. Not sure what kind of model they are using

This reval was presented as a way to correct "outliers," to "refine and correct" (Mayor Mark's words) residual issues from the Tyler reval. Instead, it used a wholly different model and, not surprisingly, produced a totally different outcome. This is totally unacceptable, and the "tentative" roll should not become permanent.

If you are on a fixed income you are being taxed out of your home.

The reval seems to concentrate the assessment increase on lot size. The unintended (or intended) consequence is to promote mcmansions using every inch of empty space.

This new assessment is an outrageous increase and you are forcing seniors and long time residents out of their homes.
Shame on you!

This debacle was entirely predictable and avoidable. The Village Board and Mayor wouldn't listen to me, Bob Harrison, and others who begged them not to go forward with this unnecessary and messed up reval. Look at the angst created and the money wasted.
