1889  Owasco  NY  Tax  Roll  Transcription

1st,--Assessors shall make their assessments between the first days of May and July.

2d,--Shall complete their rolls on or before the first day of August, and shall leave a copy of the same with one of their number for inspection, for twenty days prior to the third Tuesday of August.

3d,--Shall post notices in three or more places where said copy may be seen.

4th,--Shall meet on the third Tuesday of August, to hear grievances at the place designated in the notices.

5th,--Rolls shall be sworn to when completed by the Assessors, before one of the Justices of the town, and delivered to the Supervisor on or before the first day of September.

In order to ascertain the assessed averaged value of farming lands unaffected by railroads, mills and village valuation in the several towns in this county, and produce uniformity in the assessment Rolls to be returned to the next Board of Supervisors, the Assessors of the several towns are requested to observe the following directions:
All lots of tens acres and under, which you assess over $50 per acre, are to be considered the same as village lots.
Place the vaulation, less $50 per acre, of all such lots in the column headed "village valuation," rejecting fraction of a dollar; and the whole valuation of said lots in the column headed "Real," the same as with lots of larger size.
Lots containing fractional parts of an acre, return in 1-2, 1-4, 1-8, 1-16, 1-32, and do not use the fractions 1-3, 1-6, 1-7 nor 1-12. Also give as near as may be, the number of acres occupied by railroads, in your town.
That these instructions may be better understood, the following examples are added: John Jones is assessed for 1-4 of an acre of land, valued at $600, and $500 personal property. Abram Pitcairn, 1-2 an acre, valued at $5,000: Joseph Jacobs, 10 acres, valued at $560, $400 personal. They would appear in the assessment roll as follows:

This 1889 Owasco NY Tax Roll was transcribed from a hand-written copy privately purchased in 2003 by Bernie Corcoran via the Internet auction site, eBay.  It is believed to be the original (duplicate) copy of the 1889 Owasco NY Tax Roll utilized by the local Owasco NY Tax Assessor.  There is an official copy of this same tax roll (including signatures of Owasco Officials) on file at the Cayuga County NY Office Of Records Management in Auburn NY.
