Pittsford Village Holds Emergency Meeting Over Refuse Tax Bill Error, Approves $1.28 Credit

The Short Version

  • The Village of Pittsford Board of Trustees held an emergency meeting at noon on June 2, 2026, with one agenda item: the refuse district charge on 2026 tax bills.
  • The Board found the refuse district portion of the 2026 bill was overstated by $1.28 and unanimously approved a credit.
  • Because bills are issued through Monroe County they can't be reissued — residents should pay as billed, and a $1.28 credit will apply automatically to the 2027 bill.
  • Notice of the meeting was emailed about 3.5 hours beforehand; the meeting was open to the public and streamed live, and the next scheduled meeting is June 9.

The Refuse Tax Bill Correction

The following is the notice to residents issued by the Village of Pittsford, June 2026.

The Village recently identified a calculation error affecting the refuse district charge in the 2026 tax bill you recently received. The refuse district portion of your bill was over-stated by $1.28. Because Village tax bills are prepared and issued through Monroe County, corrected bills cannot be re-issued at this time. Following a public meeting held on June 2, 2026, the Board of Trustees unanimously approved the following resolution to address this matter: Residents are asked to pay their 2026 tax bill as issued. The Village will automatically apply a refuse district credit of $1.28 to next year's tax bill. The Village regrets this error and appreciates your understanding and patience as we work to resolve the matter in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible. If you have any questions, please contact [Village Hall](/village-of-pittsford-bulletin-may-2026) at (585) 586-4332. — Board of Trustees, Village of Pittsford | villageofpittsfordny.gov
