FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I did not receive a tax bill, or I received it late, do I still have to pay a penalty?

YES. The failure to mail a statement or the failure of a property owner to receive a bill does not affect the validity of the taxes or interest prescribed by law (NYS Tax Law Section 922). Neither the tax collector nor any other official has the authority to waive statutory penalty charges.

Do you accept payment with credit cards?

No.  At this time, the Town has not made arrangements for credit card payments.

Can I pay my taxes in installments?

The town does not accept partial payments.  The bill must be paid in one full payment.
