Re: Treasurer’s Office Report for September 2019
Tax Foreclosure Process – Public Notices were put in two newspapers with 2019 taxes
that are still open on 354 parcels. The historical of taxes returned to the County on 4/1 of
each year and public notices on 9/15 of each year is as follows:
Returned 4/1: Public Notice 9/20
2019: 809 354
2018: 724 358
2017: 799 332
2016: 1003 381
2015: 1022 425
2014: 1135 460
2013: 1042 483
This shows improvement in both areas of the number of tax parcels returned to the
County on 4/1 and the number of parcels that are still open as of 9/20 each year.
On October 7th, tax enforcement notices were mailed to owners and lienholders of parcels
with open 2018 taxes.
Fiscal Stress Monitoring System – The Fiscal Stress List was released by the NYS
Comptroller’s Office. This list was developed as an early warning mechanism to identify
municipalities that they are experiencing signs of budgetary strain. Based on prior year’s
financial data, Yates County received another fiscal score of 0.0%, which gives us a
classification of “no designation”. Of the nine financial indicators, we did not receive
any points. The historical fiscal stress cores (showing improvement each year) since the
system was put in place are:
2018: 0.0%
2017: 0.0%
2016: 12.5%
2015: 15.8%
2014: 19.2%
2013: 22.5%

Yates County received an environmental score of 16.7%, which is within the parameters
of “no designation” as well. We received points for loss of population and our heavy
reliance on state and federal aid as a percentage of our overall revenue stream. This
figure is down from our rating of 23.3% from last year, which included points for the
percent change in home values being less than the consumer price index. The historical
environmental stress scores are:
2018: 16.7%
2017: 23.3%
2016: 5.0%
2015: 14.2%
2014: 5.0%
Auditors – Our auditors will be here the week of November 4th to do their preliminary
work for 2019.
Online Payment Collection on Behalf of Townships – After making phone calls to
each township with Milo being an exception, it has been decided that the Treasurer’s
Office will continue online payment collection on behalf of participating towns for the
months of January, February, and March of 2020. Milo collects credit card payments
through their office. Barrington, Benton, Italy, Middlesex, Jerusalem, Starkey, and
Torrey would like the County to collect on their behalf. Potter is undecided and
requested information in regards to county collection.
