The Town of Pittsfield is a mix of hamlets and small communities that intertwine along the western border of Otsego County, sitting at the southern tip of New York's picturesque Mohawk Valley Region. The township extends over 37 square miles and was formed in 1797 from part of the Town of Burlington. For more information about Pittsfield history, please see the Historical Society Page.

Board of Assessment  Review Vacancy
When a community is able to participate
in its own Board of Assessment Review,
it allows mindful, local residents the ability to review the taxable value of real property throughout the township.
Protect Your Right To Have
Your Assessment Reviewed Locally
Having local citizens sit on the Board of Assessment Review is a part of ensuring that properties are assessed fairly. As a member of the board, you will participate by hearing tax grievances brought by fellow residents who believe their property has been unfairly evaluated. The Board reads property appraisals and/or other evidence submitted by residents and determines whether or not a submitted complaint meets the criteria for adjustment.
This position requires training and offers compensation
If you have an interest and would like more information, please contact the Town Supervisor or the Town Clerk:  (607) 847-9885
