Tax Payment Schedule
The tax bill covers the period of January 1 – December 31st.
- January 1st – February 28th: No interest
- March 1st – March 31st: 2% Interest
- April 1st – April 30th: 3% Interest
- May 1st – May 31st: 4% interest, plus additional $2.00 Fee
- June 1st: The Tax Collector stops accepting payments in the office. Be advised that all deliquent tax bills will need to be paid through Dutchess County Real Property (845) 486-2025.
- If the due date falls on a weekend, the payment time period is extended to the Monday immediately following the due date.
- Payments Received After the Due Date: New York State Real Property Tax Law Section 922 states that "The failure to mail any such statements, or the failure of the address to receive the same, shall not in any way affect the validity of the taxes or interest prescribed by law and respect thereto."
- A postage meter postmark is NOT a postmark made by the Inited States Post Office and, therefore, it is not within the providions of Real Property Tax Law, Section 925. Payments cannot be deemed timely because of a postage meter postmark date on an envelope containing tax payment (Op. State Compt. 69-170).
- If taxes are not received until after due date, they are not paid until after the due date unless they fall squareky within the provisions of Section 925 of the Real Property Tax Law (quoted above) and the penalty must be added and collected and no town employee or official can waive the penalty (OP. State Compt. 68-626).
