Brush and Leaf Pick-Up
Brush pick-up has ended. We had some calls after the service, but
please remember, brush pick-up is always around third week of
October and leaf pick-up is generally the last week in October/first
week in November. Get those leaves out soon! The Town will be
picking up bagged leaves through the month of November. Contact
Public Works with any questions, 273-1656. This timing is to prepare
for switching to snow removal equipment so mark your 2017 calendars
now. Tug Hill may get snow this weekend!
School Taxes
If you have misplaced your school tax bill, you can print one from
TaxLookup.net or call me and I will get you one. Due by end of October.
Water bills
Any unpaid water bills will be relevied on to the property tax bill. There
will be no increase in 2017.
House Address and signage
Does your house comply with NYS law?
NYS §R319 states and explains the requirements for identifying your
house with your street address numbers saying that the number must
be visible from the street or road your house fronts on, they must be
Arabic numbers no less than 4” inches tall and no less than .5” wide and
the color should contrast with their background. In addition, if you live
set back off the road like I do, you need to have your house number on
a “monument, pole or other sign or means” to identify the house. This
means on the side of the road on which your house is or as stated
“visible from the street or road fronting the property” so the mailbox
that is on the other side of the road doesn’t count for identifying your
house. Please, don’t rely on numbers on a mailbox and make sure your
house number is on your house or on your side of the road in front of
your house and visible for emergency responders. Every minute counts
in emergency situations.
