Parishville, New York

Parishville is a hamlet — a community without a village government of its own — in St. Lawrence County, part of New York's Adirondacks & North Country region, with about 642 residents at the 2020 census.

Like the rest of upstate New York, an assessed value here usually isn't the market value; the state's equalization rate reconciles the two. The local rate is below, and the STAR program can lower the school-tax part of the bill.

Property tax snapshot

About $15–$44 per $1,000 in St. Lawrence County

Combined full-value rate — county + town/city + school district, per $1,000 of market value (FY2025). On a $300,000 home that's about $4,502–$13,334 a year before the STAR break. A hamlet has no government of its own — it's taxed at the rates of the town it sits in.

A planning estimate, not a bill. Your exact rate depends on your school district and any village. Confirm with the assessor.
