Assessment department operations and reassessment pause
Tompkins County
Summary
The county paused annual reassessment, declared a 95% level of assessment for 2026, and is moving to Dutch Mill Road with new Tyler software by 2027. Franklin says a 3-4 year reassessment cycle may be more realistic than annual, and flagged that seniors are missing exemption deadlines.
