Column C is the percentage change in the estimate of full value between the 2008 State equalization rate and the
2009 State equalization rate due to the change in full value standard.
This percentage change is important because county and school taxes are apportioned according to a municipality's
share of the full value of the county or the school. A municipality will be apportioned a larger share of the tax levy if its
full value increases by a larger percentage than others, or if its full value decreases less than the decrease for other
municipalities in the county or school.
The information shown in columns Band C is subject to change as the other tentative rates are established in the
county and as rates are finalized after the completion of rate complaint processing. You will be sent a complete
report when we have established 2009 State equalization rates for all municipalities in your county.

HEARING PLACE: Office of Real Property

Albany, New York
On 6/2/2009 the State Board of Real Property Services established a tentative 2009 State equalization rate of
100.00 for your municipality. This equalization rate was computed using data from your municipality's tentative
assessment roll. If final assessment roll data produces a significantly different rate, we will recompute the equalization
rate and notify you.
The Office of Real Property Services applauds your efforts to comply with the statutory standard of assessment by
completing a reassessment in 2009. The tentative equalization rate is the same as the "local stated level of
assessment (LOA)" declared by the assessor and displayed on your tax bills. The tentative equalization rate indicates
the level at which a municipality is assessing property in relation to its fuil market value, as measured by the Office of
Real Property Services. The tentative equalization rate clearly supports your LOA.
A copy of the data reports showing the computation of the tentative State equalization rate is being sent to your
assessor. If class equalization rates have been established for your assessing unit, they are provided on the attached
list.
The full value standard of the tentative 2009 State equalization rate is the total full value as of July 1, 2008. The
percentage change in the estimate of full value between the 2008 State equalization rate and the 2009 State
equalization rate due to the change in full value standard for your municipality is -2.2%. The percentage change for the
other municipalities in your county is shown on the enclosed report.
A written complaint and all evidence which you wish to submit in support of that complaint must be mailed or hand
delivered to Darlene A. Maloney, Assistant to the State Board, at the Albany office of the State Board at the above
address at least five days before the hearing date set forth above. The complaint must be made on the enclosed
complaint form and signed by the chief executive officer or legal representative. Please refer to Subpart 186-15 of the
Board's rules and the State Equalization Rate and Complaint Process booklet when preparing supporting
documentation if you file a complaint. The complaint booklet is available on the ORPS website at
http://www.orps.state.ny.us or you may contact your ORPS regional office or Brian Moon or Kim Lee in Equalization
Support Services in Albany at (518) 474-5666.
THE COMPLAINT FORM AND SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION DEADLINE IS: 6/25/2009
The hearing itself is not an adjudicatory proceeding. You will, however, have the opportunity to explain the written
materials previously submitted, and/or to offer oral statements in support of your complaint. As the duly authorized
representative of the State Board, the hearing officer will communicate your comments, in summary form, to the Board.
Staff will review the written documentation you submitted in support of your complaint, to determine whether to
recommend to the Board that changes be made in the calculation of the State equalization rate.
The State Board will meet on July 28,2009 in Albany. We will notify you of the recommendation and the exact time
and location of the Board meeting.
