2024 Town of Amherst Assessment Equity Project

The Town of Amherst final assessment roll has been set for 2024-2025. During the Assessment Revaluation Project, the town contracted with GAR Associates to prepare a website (“Pros”) for property research, comparable sales and assessments, etc. Since that project concluded at the end of June, 2024, the town is relaunching the Comprehensive Property Information portal (CPI). The CPI portal has updated assessment values, property sales, etc. as well as property tax information that includes two-years of tax history and true tax calculations.

CPI Property Search
