County-Wide Parcel Data Collection

Schoharie County is in the middle of a county-wide parcel data collection project. Crews are going property to property to collect updated parcel data, structure information, and current photos. They send data mailers to residents asking them to fill out and return information about their property.

Work is currently focused on the Town and Village of Esperance and the Town and Village of Schoharie. The project will move through other municipalities over time. This kind of update helps keep assessed values accurate and reduces the number of errors in the tax rolls. If you get a mailer from the county, fill it out and send it back.
