- Unfortunately, my tax check was not honored by my bank. What do I do?
-
In the case of a returned / non-honored check, these taxes will be returned to an unpaid status and at that point, we will require the taxpayer to replace the tax payment in the exact amount of the tax payment. We also require a $20 returned item fee. Please note: if the problem occurred within a penalty-free period and we are notified immediately, only the tax payment will be required along with the returned item fee (separate checks) - However, if the issue occurs at the end of the month and we are not notified by either the taxpayer or our bank until the following month, included with the Returned Item fee there will be an appropriate mandated penalty included and the payment will not be credited in the month in which it originally was made but the month following. Therefore, you will regain credit for the month in which we are able to redeposit your payment.
PLEASE NOTE: Regarding any returned / non-honored check for the 2018 pre-payments - we will not be requesting a replacement check for those payments and please know that you will not be receiving 2017 credit for those payments.
- I didn't receive a tax bill and now the payment is late. Do I have to pay the penalty?
-
Yes. Property owners are not relieved of the obligation to pay taxes due to the lack of a bill. There is no authorization in Real Property Tax Law to waive the penalties or interest.
- If the last day to pay taxes falls on a weekend, do you extend the penalty free period?
-
Yes, you can either pay in person, online, or we will accept the postmark on the first business day following the weekend and/or holiday.
