Assessor
Our Assessor, Carlton Maxwell, is the official who estimates the value of real property within the Town’s boundaries. This value is converted into an assessment, which is one component in the computation of real property tax bills. The Town of Livonia is the designated assessing authority for the Town and Village of Livonia, and for the School Districts for Town of Livonia properties. The Town of Livonia assesses at 100% of market value.

Exemption Information
Basic Star: School Tax Exemption
Basic Star is available to anyone who owns and lives in his or her own home. The Basic Star for new home owners will have to be registered with the state. You can register 24 hours, 7 days a week at www.tax.ny.gov/star.
Be sure to print a receipt after registering for proof you filed with the state for this exemption.
Enhanced Star: School Tax Exemption
If you are filing for the first time as a new property owner, you must register with New York State. Register anytime at www.tax.ny.gov/star . Property owners without access to a computer can register by phone weekdays from 8:30 am until 4:30 pm at 518-457-2036.
The Enhanced STAR exemption for school taxes is available if you will be 65 years of age or over in the calendar year. The 2025-2026 Enacted State Budget included several provisions to simplify the STAR program for NYS homeowners, including no longer requiring homeowners to apply to their assessor for the Enhanced STAR exemption.
The STAR program will notify residents, and the Assessors office, if they qualify for an Enhanced STAR exemption. If NYS needs more information to determine eligibility, such as in cases of someone who does not file an income tax return, then they will send a letter to them requesting information.
*Follow the link above for STAR Exemption to register with New York State if you are 65 years and older who is filing for the first time or are a new property owner.
