Welcome to the Department of Assessment

Jay Franklin, Director of Assessment
Irene Kehoe, Assistant Director of Assessment

Thank you for visiting the Tompkins County Department of Assessment.  This office was consolidated in 1970 to provide the highest possible service at the lowest possible cost to the residents of Tompkins County.  Our office is dedicated to ensuring that all properties are assessed at a uniform percentage of market value. 

This site includes real property inventory  ,  tax maps  ,  real property tax exemptions  and ta x rate spreadsheets .  

We are committed to keeping you aware of changes to the New York State Real Property Tax Law and how those changes affect real property taxation in Tompkins County. 

As always, our office is here to assist you in any way we can.

If your assessment is correct and your taxes are still too high - please contact your local & school representatives.
