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.

Tax payments are deemed to have been paid as of the date of the postmark. If payment is postmarked after the due date, interest and penalties will accrue. If the envelope arrives at the Tax Office without a postmark, unfortunately, it is deemed paid on the date of its arrival.

Sign up for e-bills. No, we respect your privacy and will not share your information with anyone. Yes, you will continue to receive a hard copy; one for the Town bill due on or before April 30th and the other with two payment coupons attached first half is due on or before September 30th, and the second half is due on or before January 31st. We do not mail duplicate bills for the second half this is why we urge our property owners to register for e-bills, e-receipts, and e-reminders (generated mid-December) to avoid forgetting the second payment which will result in a 10% penalty on February 1st. The e-bills are generated around the same time the hard copy bills are.
