District Clerk
Karen Kroboth
The Town’s districts are special local service areas created to meet the unique needs of specific neighborhoods and communities. These districts allow residents to receive essential services—such as water, sewer, garbage, maintenance, lake management, or other public improvements—funded and managed separately from the Town’s general budget.
In addition to infrastructure services, several districts are responsible for the care and protection of the Town’s lakes. These lake districts help preserve water quality, maintain dams and shorelines where applicable, manage aquatic vegetation, and support recreational use for residents. Protecting these natural resources is an important part of maintaining property values, environmental health, and the overall character of the community.
Each district is established in accordance with New York State Town Law and operates under the oversight of the Town Board. District costs are assessed only to the properties within that district, ensuring that services are funded by the residents who directly benefit from them.
Through these districts, the Town is able to maintain high-quality infrastructure, protect property values, and respond efficiently to the specific needs of different areas within the community.
For more information about a particular district, please visit the individual district pages.
