5. Where can I put POSTED signs on my property?
At least one sign must be set on each side of the protected area and on each side of all corners that can be reasonably identified. Signs shall be no more than 660 feet apart, close to or along the boundaries of the protected area. Since the signs must be conspicuous, they should be high enough, and spaced closely enough to be seen. Please don't turn your property into an eyesore by using more signs than are necessary. Check the signs once a year and maintain them as neccesary so they are legible. You can read more on the DEC website here.
6. Can I pay my school taxes at the Town Hall?
No. School taxes can be made payable to Trumansburg Central School District and dropped off at Tompkins Trust Company in Trumansburg or mailed to:
