The East Greenbush Central School District’s school tax bills will be mailed to District residents on Wednesday, September 13, 2017. The tax collection period runs from September 13, 2017 to October 13, 2017, without payment of a penalty.

School tax bill calculations are based on property assessed value, equalization rate, and the town’s share of the overall tax levy. It should be noted that the town assessors have responsibility for the assessed values; the NYS Tax Department’s State Board of Real Property Tax Services has responsibility for equalization rates.  In some cases, changes in equalization rates may impact how much individual towns share proportionately in the school tax levy.

This year, the combined district-wide tax levy increased, for all towns, by 3.70%. This is the same as the District’s projection in the 2017-18 budget. The actual tax rate for specific towns varies due to State determined equalization rates and overall assessed valuation.

The 2017 school tax rates, per $1,000 of assessed value, are listed below:

Town Homestead
Tax Rate
Homestead
Tax Rate Change
Non-Homestead
Tax Rate
Non-Homestead
Tax Rate Change
East Greenbush $17.97 3.3% $24.49 3.1%

Sand Lake $17.96 -0.8% $23.30 -0.5%
Chatham $22.43 -0.2% $27.41 -0.5%

The current tax bill shows a 3.70% increase in the overall tax levy from budget to budget. This is not the tax rate for your individual town, which is calculated separately.

Tax payments should be mailed to:

School Tax Office
East Greenbush CSD
29 Englewood Avenue
East Greenbush, NY  12061

If you choose to pay your taxes in person, you may do so at Key Bank located at 615 Columbia Turnpike in East Greenbush. This is the ONLY Key Bank location collecting school taxes this year. Town of Schodack residents wishing to pay their taxes in person may do so at the Schodack Town Hall.
