| For the first time in many years, tax collection has reached well above the 75% of warrant mark. This means that more and more property owners are current with their property taxes in Portville. By March 31st, Portville had collected 84.9% of the tax warrant for town, county, and delinquent school and village taxes. This is a remarkable percentage that we all should be very proud of in our community. Thank you! |
