Village of Pittsford Bulletin: America250 Picnic Sunday, July 1 Tax Deadline, and July Holiday Closure

Join us at the pavilion behind the Spiegel Center for the Village and Town’s America250 E Pluribus Unum Community Picnic. Festivities begin at Noon and the event program is available on the Village website. Bring your picnic lunch along with a blanket or lawn chairs and enjoy an afternoon of music, activities, and fellowship as we commemorate our nation’s 250th anniversary and share the spirit of community that makes Pittsford special.

Our nation is a wonderful blend of traditions and cultures from all over the globe! As part of our America250 celebration, we still invite residents to submit their favorite family recipes throughout the summer for inclusion in a special Pittsford Community Cookbook to be released this fall. Whether it’s a cherished family tradition, a neighborhood favorite, or a recipe that represents your family’s heritage, we would love to include it in this commemorative collection. Submission information is available on the Village website.

Village Hall and the Department of Public Works will be closed in observance of Independence Day beginning Friday, July 3, through Monday, July 6. Regular summer business hours will resume on Tuesday, July 7. Residents are encouraged to plan accordingly for any Village business requiring in-person assistance.

Following recent storms, the Department of Public Works continues to work throughout the Village collecting brush and storm debris. Crews follow an ongoing route designed to serve all neighborhoods as efficiently as possible. While there is no set collection day for brush pickup, to ensure your material is included in the next pass through your neighborhood, residents are asked to place brush at the curb by Sunday evening. As always, collection schedules may be adjusted around Village holiday closures and emergency response needs. We appreciate residents’ patience and cooperation as crews continue cleanup efforts throughout the village.

Village property tax bills are now in their final weeks before the penalty-free payment period expires. Tax payments must be received by the Village Clerk’s Office by the close of business on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, or be postmarked no later than July 1, 2026, to avoid penalty. Please allow sufficient mailing time if paying by mail. Note, there is a mail slot at the side entrance of Village Hall if you wish to drop off a payment at your convenience. Contact the office at 586-4332 with any questions regarding your tax bill or payment options.

Residents must register to receive alerts, which may include emergency advisories, service updates, and other urgent community notices. More information and step-by-step instructions to sign up are available at www.villageofpittsfordny.gov or call 585-586-4332.
