Hanover Supervisor Kathy Tampio voiced concerns about Chautauqua County's proposed county-wide assessment program yesterday. She asked two legislators, David Wilder, D-Silver Creek, and Jerry Park, R-Forestville, to forward those concerns to the Legislature.
The County is considering centralizing property assessment, applying the theory that consolidating services saves money. Tampio's concern is that those townships who are heavily assessed will be carrying the weight of those townships who are currently below 100% assessment. Also being debated is whether or not the system would actually save the county money at all.
The Legislature is, in typical fashion, is forming a committee to study the situation.
