This School Tax Levy is for the

period July 1, 2002 - June 30, 2003.

The receiver of Taxes collects and disburses School and General Property taxes.  Each individual village collects village taxes separately.

The 2002 – 2003 School Tax Levy covers the fiscal year July 1, 2002 through June 30, 2003.  The fiscal affairs of each school district are the responsibility of the Board of Education, an elected body.  The Town has no control over school taxes and acts only as an agent to collect and distribute school taxes.  All school taxes are disbursed to the individual school districts.
