County to reevaluate Saratoga homes to market value by 1979
Saratoga County aims to assess all homes at true market value by May 30 1979 with a two year, 60 000 parcel revaluation plan costing under 900 000. Five firms express interest and maps for 60 000 parcels are updated. The project will use 50 public works and 20 other staff funded by CETA and will feed data to Albany computer banks for quick access by town assessors. Residents fear tax increases for long-unassessed properties.
