John E. Lawler - Town Supervisor

Dear Friends and Neighbors,   

The arrival of the spring and summer seasons will bring a great deal of activity to our community. The town has an ambitious paving schedule for the upcoming months which will include all of the following streets:

Clifton Street                 First Avenue                  Second Avenue             Hill Street

Grace Street                 Grand Alley                    Grove Street                  Shear Court       

Charles Street              River Street                    Barley Court                   Orchard Lane

Timber Drive                Appaloosa Court             Suncrest Drive               Devitt Road

Harvest Way                Wood Lot Court               Morgan Lane                 Industry Drive

Specific dates for each street will be posted on the town website as they become finalized. We would appreciate the cooperation of all residents affected by the paving projects so that the projects can be completed as efficiently as possible and with a minimum amount of inconvenience to everyone involved.

Our trash drop off program is now open and available to all town residents at the Town Highway garage every Saturday through May 18^th. I am also very pleased to announce that the fees for trash drop off services have been substantially reduced. Effective immediately the new fee schedule is:

Automobiles -- $5                           Pick Up Trucks & Vans -- $15                      Vehicles with Trailers -- $25

We are also cautiously optimistic that we will soon begin construction on our Mohawk Gateway Streetscape Project. This project is focused on Saratoga Avenue between Clifton and Fulton Streets. Upon completion, the project will result in improved drainage of Saratoga Avenue, new crosswalks for improved pedestrian safety, along with the installation of new street lighting, new plantings and pedestrian benches. The drainage improvements will be undertaken by the New York State Department of Transportation and completed first. The additional enhancements will be undertaken upon completion of the drainage improvements.

On behalf of the Town Board and all employees of the town, please have a safe and very enjoyable spring season.      

         Our Hearts and prayers are with our Troops all over the world!

2019 Tentative Town Tax Assessment Roll

The 2019 Tentative Town Tax Assessment Roll has been completed and is available for inspection in the Town Clerk's Office during regular hours. The information is also available on the County's website; https://www.saratogacountyny.gov/2019-tentative-assessment-rolls/ 

Scroll down and click on the Town of Waterford link and you will have access to the entire Tentative Roll.

To find a particular property, owner, or address, use the “Find” box. Many residents feel it is important to know the assessments on their properties. If you need help reading the Roll or understanding its abbreviations, the Assessor is usually available to help (call for an appointment: 235-9907).

Using either of these methods can help you decide if your assessment is fair or needs review. If review is your choice, go to www.tax.ny.gov/pdf/publications/orpts/grievancebooklet.pdf or telephone your Assessor.
