Please contact us as soon as possible, so we can correct our information. If you do not contact us, the bill for your property will not go where it needs to be and payment can be late and penalized. Many homeowners have their property taxes paid from an escrow account through their mortgage company. You and/or your lender are not exempt from the various penalties, fees and proceedings that become relevant if an error results in the late or non-payment of your property taxes. Homeowners who pay off their mortgage or are no longer in escrow for taxes are encouraged to contact the Tax Office so that we may send all future tax bills directly to you as the homeowner. Homeowners who have moved are encouraged to contact the Tax Office so that we may send the taxes to the current address in a timely manner. Check NYS.gov/TAX for star information.
