A Ramapo Notice of Tentative Assessment lands and the number is bigger than expected this year. Here is what the village-stack math usually shows.
A typical Suffern homeowner opens the 2026 Ramapo Notice of Tentative Assessment and the number is 11 percent higher than the previous roll. With the village stack included, the annual property tax bill projects near $15,800 against last year's $14,200. The home has not changed.
What is on the 2026 Ramapo roll?
The tentative roll picks up sales from across Ramapo, including Monsey and Spring Valley inventory that may not actually represent the Suffern market. The town's spring valuation blends those sets, and the village-stack rate compounds against the resulting assessed value. On a $450,000 Suffern home, a $50,000 overstatement is roughly $1,600 a year in the bill, every year, until the roll moves the number.
What is the Ramapo takeaway?
The Notice of Tentative Assessment is the trigger letter, not the final bill. Grievance Day on the 2026 Ramapo roll is Tuesday, May 26, 2026, with the completed grievance form due to the Ramapo Board of Assessment Review. Fair Appeal handles the full property tax appeal in Ramapo and only charges a percentage of first-year tax savings when the value comes down. FairAppeal monitors the Ramapo roll every year, not just once. For the full Ramapo picture see the Ramapo property tax appeal guide and the NYS grievance procedure.
