Our
Assessor, Lisa Bennett, is the official who estimates
the value of real property within the Town's boundaries.
This value is converted into an assessment, which
is one component in the computation of real property
tax bills. The Town of Livonia is the designated
assessing authority for the Town and Village of
Livonia, and for school district property in the
town. The Assessor's office is also responsible
for processing all real property exemptions.
