Q: What are the taxes in Pittsford, NY? I have heard that I could save money on taxes with a new home - is this correct?

A: Property taxes in Pittsford, NY are roughly 3.2% of the homes transfer price. New homeowners find they can have a significant tax savings the first year in their new home. Since the tax roles only open once a year on March 1st, many homeowners only pay property taxes on the value of their home site (versus the total value of the their home) for over a year. For instance, if you build a $400,000 home you could be paying taxes for over a year as if you owned a $75,000 home. Think of the money that stays in your pocket!
