The Town of Lenox Comprehensive Planning Committee will meet the 1st Wednesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the Municipal Building Court Room, 205 S. Peterboro Street, Canastota.
Water District Resident,
The Town of Lenox currently bills for the water districts separately in July. The Town and County Tax bills come out in January. Levying the water district tax on the Town and County tax bill is permissible and would put the Town of Lenox in compliance.
For the fiscal year 2024, the Water district bill will go out in July of 2024. Those bills that remain unpaid, will be relevied onto the 2025 Town and County tax bill. Going forward, the 2025 water district billing that would have been done in July 2025 is now going to be billed in January yearly.
We understand that this will take some adjustment, but the requirement of the change is mandated by New York State. We hope this letter serves all taxpayers of these districts with the advance notice necessary to set aside funds during this adjustment.
Everyone will receive a reminder of this mandated change with the 2024 water district tax bill in July 2024.
