UTICA, N.Y. — The City of Utica’s assessed tax base increased by $7 million over the past year, according to the recently completed final assessment roll.
The city says the increase resulted directly from its marketing of foreclosed properties to private developers, putting those properties back on the tax rolls. It also highlights the results of the city’s economic-development initiatives and the high volume of construction occurring throughout the city.
Since 2012, Utica has sold more than 800 properties, including a dozen major commercial properties to private developers. Many are located in the downtown/Bagg’s Square corridor.
