Comptroller / Receiver of Taxes

Penalties are levied on late payments. To avoid incurring penalties:

• You can deliver your payment to the Receiver of Taxes in person; or

• Be sure your payment is postmarked by the US Post Office, or an officially-accepted delivery company (Airborne Express, FedEx, and UPS). These are the only acceptable postmarks. Payments dated through other means (including Pitney Bowes mail equipment or foreign post) are not acceptable.

New York state laws prohibits a municipality to waive penalties on real estate or school tax payments received after the due date for any reason.
