Newburgh assessor's office closed for staff development today

The City of Newburgh Assessor’s Office at 83 Broadway is closed today for internal staff development and will reopen and resume regular business hours on the next business day. The temporary closure affects in-person access to assessment services but does not shut off the city’s online property resources.

During the closure, property owners, real estate professionals and other residents can consult the City of Newburgh Property Record Online System (PROS) to review and search information related to real property and assessments. The PROS platform provides access to assessment data and other records the Assessor’s Office normally provides at the counter, and additional online services and guidance are available on the city website.

The city thanked the public for patience while staff development takes place and highlighted those online resources as the primary way to obtain assessment information during the brief interruption. Residents who planned to visit the office today should reschedule appointments or complete research through PROS to avoid delay. The office will resume regular operations the following business day, allowing any in-person filings or inquiries to proceed then.

For local taxpayers and homeowners in Orange County, the closure is likely to be a minor disruption if their needs can be met online. Those who require face-to-face help with complex assessment questions, document certification or other services that cannot be completed remotely should plan to visit the Assessor’s Office once it reopens. Municipal offices increasingly rely on digital records to maintain continuity during staff training or development, and Newburgh’s approach mirrors a broader trend toward ensuring public access to critical data even when counters are closed.

The brief, planned closure reflects an investment in staff capability rather than a service interruption caused by weather or technical failure. Residents who need immediate access to property assessment information should use PROS and check the city website for any updates on hours or additional services. When the office reopens, normal in-person services will be available again, and residents can expect the Assessor’s Office to resume handling walk-ins, appointments and paperwork as usual.
