Governor Andrew Cuomo on December 18, 2020 issued Executive Order 202.83 and adopted by the Town of Wheatland on December 22, 2020 allowing the assessor to grant property owners who received the Limited Income Senior Citizens’ and Persons with Disabilities’ partial property tax exemption on the 2020 assessment roll to receive the same exemptions for the 2021 assessment roll without having to file a renewal application.

The temporary suspension and modification, by Executive Order 202.83 and the Town Board resolution, of this requirement eliminates the need of the property owner to submit either in person or by mail a renewal application for the 2021 Assessment Roll. Renewal applications already received will be processed. However, any change in primary residence, transfer of property to another owner, change in ownership, change in income or death of an owner will require a new application by March 1, 2021.

Please help the Town of Wheatland Highway Department keep your highways clear in a safe and efficient manner during the upcoming winter season. When you see a plow truck, slow down and give the truck sufficient room to clear the road surface. When following behind a plow truck, please stay at a reasonable distance to ensure you could stop safely. Note that when a plow truck stops at an intersection we will generally back up to complete cleaning of the intersection.

Help us by being both attentive and cautious. It can be hard for truck plow drivers to see where you might be, whether you are in your car or shoveling your driveway. At night it can be especially difficult to see people cleaning the end of their driveways. Please take note of the plow truck when it comes by your driveway and stay back away from the road, as the snow coming off the plow could even knock you over. Remember, please don’t put snow from driveways into the roadway.

If your mailbox is damaged by us we will repair it after the snow event. If it needs to be replaced, we will replace it with a standard wood post and metal mail box. Note that plastic mailboxes do not stand up well to wet heavy snow and in particular when hit by ice coming off the plow at 20+ MPH in freezing temperatures. With your help we will do our best this winter to clear the roads safely and efficiently for everyone. Check out the NYS Thruway Authority for some additional safe winter driving tips.

The Monroe County Soil and Water Conservation District has announced its 2021 Conservation Tree, Shrub & Plant Program. This is a pre-order program that allows landowners the chance to receive tree and shrub seedlings in species that are native to New York State. Orders are taken every winter with distribution of trees occurring in April. Each year, the District offers a variety of new species to our sale.
