Mission Statement of the Department of Assessment
The Cheektowaga Department of Assessment is responsible for creating fair and equitable assessments yearly. We administer real property tax exemptions as provided by the New York State Real Property Tax Law and locally adopted laws. We educate the general public about Real Property Assessment Administration.
Current Assessment Rate
The Town of Cheektowaga implements an annual assessment equity program and currently assesses at 62% of full market value. If properties are fairly assessed, then taxes are fairly distributed.
