Our Assessor 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 Richmond is the designated assessing authority for the Town and for the School Districts for property within the Town of Richmond. The Town of Richmond re-assesses every 3 years to reset assessments at 100% of market value.
