Greenburgh Insider: Avoid Late Property Tax Penalties.

 

We don't want you to get a 10% penalty for paying taxes late so have been placing reminder signs all over town.

We don't want you to get a 10% penalty for paying taxes late so have been placing reminder signs all over town.  Municipalities in Westchester County collect school taxes. Schools are independent of the town government but one of our responsibilities is to collect the taxes for them. The 2nd half of your tax bill is due the last day of January each month. And -every year taxpayers forget to pay on time. Those who pay their tax bill on February 1st get fined 10% (the town does not set the penalty. I think is excessive).

We have been placing signs (see below) all over town reminding taxpayers to pay on time.  Please remind your neighbors and friends that taxes are due Tuesday January 31st. You can pay your tax bill at Greenburgh Town Hall or online (visit the Receiver of Taxes page on the town website: www.greenburghny.com).

I will send out another reminder before January 31st.
