Digital Photographing of Properties to Begin - June 2007


   In the ongoing effort to improve the quality of the property records, the Town of Grand Island along with the contractor, GAR Associates, will begin the task of taking digital photographs of properties located within the Town. This project is part of an Information Technology grant program sponsored by the New York State Office of Real Property Services.

   Assessor David Unmack announces that beginning in June authorized staff will be working from the public right of way. If properties cannot be photographed from the public right of way, GAR Staff will be accessing the property via the driveway. All GAR Staff will carry photo ID badges issued from the Assessor’s Office and will also have a GAR Associates sign on the side of the vehicle or on the dash board. The Town Assessment Office and the Police Department have a vehicle list of all project staff members.

   If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call the Assessor’s office @773-9600 ext. 648.
