Town Clerk/Tax Receiver

The Town Clerk’s office is responsible, under State Law, for maintaining the custody of all public records for the Town of Gates. These records include all legal documents, manuscripts, minutes of board meetings, and other vital records.

Residents visit the Town Clerk’s office to obtain an array of licenses and permits, such as alarm permits, disability parking permits, dog licenses, hunting & fishing licenses, and marriage licenses.

In addition to being responsible for maintaining vital records, the Department is also responsible for the collection of Town & County taxes, as well as school taxes for our two school districts: Gates Chili and Spencerport. This department is also available to assist residents and realtors with any property-tax-related questions.
