Embellishment fees on the property tax bill
Embellishment fees, charges for specific services, are included on the annual property tax bill. The fees are based on a property's front footage. To figure out an embellishment charge, the embellishment rate is multiplied by the property's front footage. For corner properties, the front footage comprises 1/3 of the longer side's footage plus the full footage of the lot's shorter side.

| Sidewalk Snow Plowing | 0.906 | $36.24 |
| Hazardous Sidewalk Repair | 0.958 | $38.32 |
| Total | 5.89 | $235.60 |
*Average Homestead = House assessed with a 40' front footage.
These fees are based on the 2016-17 tax rates and are subject to periodic revision.
