    The miscalculation ($0.0679 per $1,000 of assessed value) is so insignificant ($6.79) to total increase billed it’s announcement is laughable; most likely a diversionary tactic to obscure the significant increase.

    It was confirmed at last night's town board work session that Lancaster residents can expect a whopping $6 - $8 refund for the county tax miscalculation.

    and most of that will be wasted in cutting the checks. What a waste.

    County tax bill kerfuffle

    https://buffalonews.com/2020/02/04/w...rty-tax-bills/

    The recent $4.4 million overbilling on Erie County tax bills has resulted in headaches for town clerks and county staffers, apologies from county officials, and confusion for taxpayers.

    Most of the county property tax bills that arrived in the mail list amounts that are more than property owners really owe.

    So should property owners pay what the bill says?

    The short answer is yes. And then wait for your refund.

    Based on a review of revised tax rates provided to The Buffalo News, homeowners in cities and larger towns can expect refunds ranging from roughly $33 on a home assessed at $100,000 in the Town of Tonawanda to $10 on a similarly assessed home in Buffalo or $3 in Clarence.
