The following statement was released this afternoon by Mayor Joe Ferris:
When approved by the Common Council, my office will begin the long overdue and much needed revaluation process. The first since 2019, the 2028 revaluation will go a long way in ensuring all properties in our city are assessed accurately. With an equalization rate among the lowest in Columbia County, property owners--and in turn, renters--in Hudson shoulder an unnecessarily heavy tax burden when compared to our neighbors. Simply put, the lower our municipal equalization rate is, the higher the taxes levied on us proportionately by taxing entities like the school district. By working with the Columbia County Real Property Tax Service (RPTS) on this revaluation, the City not only saves money but gets the on-the-ground expertise that only RPTS brings to the table. I look forward to sharing more information as we move along the revaluation process.
