Town of Alden Real Property Online Information
The Town of Alden Assessment Online database now online. This website was developed through a grant from the New York State Office of Real Property Services. Our goal is to provide a user-friendly site where the public can review property assessment and tax information. The user may view property records by entering a tax map number, owner name, or street address. From this point you will be able to review property data, street level and aerial property photographs, real property tax information, comparable sales and assessment information. Comparable searches have been predefined, but may be modified to expand or reduce the search range. If you are interested in searching by user defined ranges just select the 'Comparable Search' button on the left side of the screen and set the search criteria. Upon clicking the link, the user will be redirected to the Assessment Information website.
