Press release<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Town of Batavia Assessor, Rhonda M Saulsbury, announces beginning April 10th, 2026,
Change of Assessment Notices will be mailed to property owners within the Town.
Instructions will be included with each notice indicating the procedure for requesting an
informal review, how to obtain forms and where to get information.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms. Saulsbury reminds property owners to review the full market value estimate found on
the Change of Assessment Notification. If you do not agree with this estimate AND can
offer proof for a change, you can follow the process of filing a challenge. Informal reviews
will be held during the remainder of the month of April. Appointments are required with
specific details included with the notices.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Formal Grievance Form (RP-524) can also be submitted anytime up to and during
Grievance Day May 26th, 2026 (Prior to the start, or in person).
Information regarding property assessments, inventory data and sale information will be
available beginning April 10th online at: https:\/\/townofbatavia.prosgar.com\/<\/a>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Town of Batavia strives to maintain a 100% equalization rate (sale price to
assessment ratio) which means that we aim to keep our assessments at 100% full market
value across all property types. To accomplish this we do regular re-valuations and make
adjustments accordingly during the assessment update project. Values can adjust due to
both physical changes and\/or market changes, said Rhonda M Saulsbury, Town of Batavia
Assessor.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of this process, we run each property through our appraisal software system,
comparing the building style, square footage, year built, bedrooms, baths, lot size, et cetera against the recent sale data. We then do field review to determine the fair full market value
based on the aforementioned data.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although we review each neighborhood within the Town during each cycle, we only
update values in those that have experienced an increase or decrease in market values.
As sale values have continued to climb between 8%-10% +\/- on average above current
assessments, we must adjust assessed values in accordance with NYS Real Property Tax
Law guidelines, in regular cycles.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Western NY Regional Market Trends (2025) (including southern tier)<\/strong>
Market values remained stable or increased due to a continued shortage of housing
inventory, which stayed near two months or less of supply for much of the year.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\uf0b7 Buffalo Metro<\/em><\/strong>: The median sold price in Erie County reached $269,315 by July 2025, a
5.2% increase from the previous year. In the city of Buffalo specifically, prices rose even
faster, with Redfin reporting a 15.5% year-over-year increase to a median of $205,000
as of early 2026.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\uf0b7 Rochester Metro<\/em><\/strong>: Rochester was projected to be the #2 top housing market for 2026,
building on a strong 2025 where home values were noted to have risen 75% since<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\uf0b7 Surrounding Counties<\/em><\/strong>: Value growth in mid-2025 was high in several WNY counties:
\uf0b7 Niagara County: +12.5% ($225,000 median).
o Wyoming County: +11.4% ($185,000 median).
o Genesee County: +10.8% ($200,000 median).
o Cattaraugus County: +10.5% ($162,400 median).
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grievance Day 2026 will be held on May 26th from 2:30-4:30 PM & 6:00-8:00 PM.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grievance Day is held in the Batavia Town Hall, located at 3833 West Main St Rd.
The Grievance form, Informal Review form, sale & inventory data, and the Townwide new
assessments to assist you in comparing property values, can be found as of April 10th in
the Town Clerk\u2019s Office, or online: https:\/\/townofbatavia.prosgar.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
