2019-20 Tax Information

Tax bills for 2019 will be mailed to district residents on September 11, 2019. The tax collection period is September 11, 2019 to October 11, 2019, 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.
