Pittsford tax bills: refuse charge overstated $1.28; credit to next year

The Village of Pittsford says it found a calculation error on the refuse district portion of residents’ 2026 tax bills: that refuse charge was overstated by $1.28.

In a June 2026 resident notice, the Village said the issue can’t be fixed by re-issuing corrected bills because Pittsford tax bills are prepared and issued through Monroe County.

What the Village says happened

The notice says the calculation error affected the “refuse district charge” on the 2026 bill residents recently received.

Board action after the June 2, 2026 meeting

Following a public meeting held on June 2, 2026, the Pittsford Board of Trustees unanimously approved a resolution to address the problem.

What residents should do now

The Village asks residents to pay the 2026 tax bill as issued. Officials say the correction will be handled through the credit process, not by an immediate bill replacement.

Specifically, the Village says it will automatically apply a $1.28 refuse district credit to next year’s tax bill.

What to watch for on next year’s bill

For the practical next step, residents should check next year’s tax bill to confirm the refuse district line/item reflects the $1.28 credit.

If you have questions, the notice directs residents to contact Village Hall at (585) 586-4332.
