New York State Law provides that the Tax Receiver CANNOT waive penalties on real estate taxes after the due date for any reason.
Paying By Mail
|
If mailing a tax payment a few days prior to the due date, make certain that you witness a timely official United States postmark being affixed to the envelope. Postage meter (i.e. Pitney Bowes) and foreign postmarks are not acceptable, envelope containing payment of local taxes, without a U.S. Postmark date is deemed paid on the date received. (NYS Real Property Tax Law, section 924a) |
|
Effective Jan, 2003, new legislation now allows us to accept FedEx, UPS, DHL and Airborne as timely deliveries if postmarked by the last day of the collection period. (NYS Real Property Tax Law, section 925) |
|
Please include your telephone number on your check in case the Tax office needs to reach you. |
Where an envelope containing payment of local taxes contains no US postmark date, payment of such taxes is deemed to have been made on the date the payment is received. Also New York State law provides that a property owner is not relieved of the responsibility for payment of taxes or interest prescribed by law despite the failure to receive a notice of such taxes due.
Tax payment receipts will be furnished upon request.
