Computer Access
RPS, the Real Property System, is a collection of assessment,
physical inventory and valuation programs that assist the
assessment community in producing an equitable assessment
roll. The RPS application allows the assessor to keep their
assessment and inventory data current and produces reports
required by ORPS Rules & Regulations and the New York
State Real Property Tax Law.
Our office has two computers to assist the public
with obtaining assessment records and/or inventory records
with the aid of the RPS application. The public can obtain
information through the use of various search criteria's
such as owner name or tax map number. Our staff is there
to assist you with all of your needs. Information is available
for printing at a cost of $ .50 cents per screen.
