Additional Information

  • PLEASE list your account number on your check.
  • Postmarks: New York State Real Property Tax Laws govern tax collection. The United States Postal Postmark date determines whether a payment is on time.  Any payments postmarked on or before the due date will be considered on time.  It is strongly suggested, if payment is mailed on the due date, to walk into the Post Office and have the date hand stamped by a Postal Employee.
  • Metered Mail: Tax payments delivered by the U.S. Postal service after the due date that do not contain an official U.S. Postal Postmark but rather a “postage meter” mark are not considered timely.
  • Online Banking: Most banks discourage the use of online banking for tax payments because they cannot guarantee your payment will be delivered to our office by the due date.  If you utilize online banking, you do so at your own risk, but we advise against it.
  • What if the office is closed?: Any time a due date falls on a day in which the Town Offices are closed, or if the Post Office is closed, payments will be accepted on the next business day without penalty or additional interest due.
  • Acceptable Forms of Payment: Cash, Personal Check, Certified or Cashier’s Check, and Money Order.
  • Hours: Town Hall Office hours are Monday thru Friday between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
  • NO PAYMENTS OF ANY KIND WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER NOVEMBER 18TH.
