The Assessor is responsible for
preparing market value estimates for every property in Clayton. The values,
or assessments are used for determining the tax burden for each parcel.
Annually the Assessor's officer reviews permits, transfers of property, and
deeds to determine if a change in assessment is necessary.
The Assessor is also
responsible for administering exemptions to taxation. These exemptions
include Senior Citizen, School Tax Relief (STAR), Agricultural, and Veterans
to name a few. Below are links to the most commonly used assessment forms. A
complete list of exemptions can be found online at
this link.
