Perinton Town Clerk /Tax Receiver

Season Greetings!

One of the biggest enjoyments my staff and I have throughout this very difficult year is the chance to connect with the wonderful residents of this great town. We look forward to continuing those relationships and creating new ones in the New Year and hopefully lots of in-person interactions!

Looking ahead…2021 will be here before we know it and along with the New Year comes the Town and County tax cycle. Although most of us do not enjoy paying property taxes, we do enjoy the excellent services provided by our town government! The Town of Perinton’s full-value tax rate has been one of the three lowest in Monroe County for more than 35 years. We encourage residents to participate in public meetings at all levels of government, including school board meetings, to ensure full community input during the budget and policy-making process and throughout the year.

Important information for the upcoming 2021 Town and County Tax cycle:

• Tax bills for the upcoming 2021 Town and County tax collection will be mailed on December 31.
