INFORMAL REVIEW PROCESS GOVERNMENT > TOWN of palmyra > ASSESSOR > INFORMAL REVIEW PROCESS The informal assessment review process is usually done in March, as condition of the property for assessment purposes is as of the 1st of March. The informal assessment review process allows owners to submit documentation to the Assessor for review of their property's assessment. An interior and/or exterior inspection may be requested by the owner or by the Assessor's Office. The Assessor will review the information and notify the owner of a decision. When looking for comparisons for your home please note the following: Town property compares only to Town property. Village property compares only to Village property. Look for homes of the same or similar style, for example: Ranches compare only to ranches, old style only to old style. Cape Cods, Colonials, Split Levels and Raised Ranches may be used as comparables to each other IF there are not enough of any one style to compare to. Try to stay around the same age and size. If you are not satisfied with the results, you may file a formal complaint with the Board of Assessment Review. Informal Assessment Review for Residential Properties

1917 MILITARY CENSUS ABOUT PALMYRA > 1917 military census During the winter months of 2003, the Town of Palmyra began remodeling two rooms in the Town Hall to contain records that needed to be retained. (The remodeling expenses were covered by a grant.) They are called the Archives rooms. During the settling of these rooms, in April of 2003, almost exactly 86 years after it was created, the 1917 United States Military Census for Palmyra was found, rolled up in a box. The original document is more than 20 pages long, in very good condition, and handwritten. The Town Clerk's office decided to transcribe the document and make it available to the public for research and genealogy purposes. A hard copy is also available in the Town Clerk's Office and with the Palmyra Historian in the Palmyra Town Hall. It can be viewed at those offices during regular hours. Note: At least one page of the original document is devoted to a letter of the alphabet. Therefore, we continued this layout in the transcription. The letter "A" contains males between the ages of 18-45 whose last name begins with the letter A. This format is continued through the alphabet. Special thanks goes to Jeanne and Jack Drake who assisted in transcribing this wonderful document. a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z
