School taxes are collected by the Town and remitted to the school districts periodically as collected.
Town and County taxes are collected in April. The Town remits 60% of the County Levy to Westchester
County by May 25th and 40% by October 15th.
Village taxes are collected by the Village offices according to their payment schedules.
3. Am I eligible for either the STAR exemption, veterans exemption or senior citizen exemption and how will it affect my tax amount?
Application for all exemptions should be made to the Assessor’s Office. When your exemption has been
received, you may call the Tax Office to determine your tax savings.
4. What should I do if my taxes are delinquent for a long period of time or I am confused as to
what I should be paying?
Call the Tax Office to determine what is due and what the best method of payment will be.
5. Why do I have to pay a penalty when I did not receive a tax bill?
According to New York State Law, it is the taxpayer’s responsibility to pay taxes when they are due. All
taxpayers are mailed a tax bill by the 1st of the month that the taxes are due. If you do not receive a tax
bill by that time, you may call the Tax Office for a duplicate bill. However, failure to receive a tax bill does
not relieve the property owner of their responsibility to pay taxes in a timely manner. If taxes become
delinquent, we cannot accept payment without the penalty.
You may call the Tax Office at (914) 381-7860 and the Comptroller’s Office at (914) 381-7850 for any
additional information.
