ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

If you believe your bank or mortgage company escrows for your taxes (your monthly mortgage amount includes a tax escrow payment) and you receive a tax bill, please forward your bill to the bank or company holding your mortgage.

Failure to receive a tax bill does not relieve you of your responsibility for payment. It also will not constitute cause for cancellation of any penalty if the bill becomes delinquent. (New York State Real Property Tax Law 922) If you do not receive a tax bill, please contact the tax collector at the number above to obtain a copy of your tax bill.

Taxes paid September 1st – September 30th are not subject to a penalty
Taxes paid October 1st – October 31st are subject to a 2% penalty
Taxes paid November 1st – November 4th are subject to a 3% penalty

Note: After last collection date, taxes will no longer be accepted by the school district. Payments will be accepted by the commissioner of finance in Goshen from November 5th through November 15th, 2024. After this date, unpaid taxes will be re-levied on January 2025 tax bill. No personal checks are accepted.
