Enter your assessed value and see exactly where your property tax dollars go — Village, County, School, and more.
Your Penn Yan property tax bill is divided among several local agencies — and most residents have never seen a clear breakdown of where each dollar actually goes.
This calculator uses official 2025 Yates County tax rates to show your estimated annual bill broken down by taxing authority: the Village of Penn Yan, Town of Milo, Yates County, Penn Yan Central School District, the Public Library, and Fire Protection.
Enter the assessed value from your tax bill — not your home's sale price — select your location, and see your full breakdown in seconds.
You receive three separate tax bills per year: Village (June), Town/County (January), and School (September). Water and sewer billed monthly by the Village.

The number that drives your entire tax bill is your assessed value — not what you paid for your home, and not what it would sell for today. In Yates County, assessments are set at 100% equalization, meaning your assessed value should equal full market value. In practice, assessments can drift over time.
You can find your current assessed value at the Yates County property search or on your most recent tax bill under 'Total Assessment.'
If you believe your assessment is too high, you have the right to grieve it. The deadline in Yates County is Grievance Day — the fourth Tuesday in May.
