4. Do you accept partial payments?

Yes. For the Town & County a partial payment can be made at anytime and be any amount, penalties do apply on any payment that is made after the penalty free period ends. The first partial payment may be any amount at any time.  There may be four payments for County & Town taxes and three payments for School taxes. Each payment after the due date must include current penalties only on the remaining balance that is due. No partial payments may be accepted on properties with delinquent taxes, unless in a current installment agreement at the county. All payments made after the close of collection at the town have to be made in full at the county.

For School Taxes the first partial payment maybe any amount and must be made during the penalty free period. 

5. Do you accept postmarked mail?

Yes, we accept US Postal postmarks, Fedex, Airborne, UPS, Brown and DHL. Mail postmarked with the due date is accepted. Metered mail DOES NOT constitute a postmark.

6. If I make my tax payment through online banking on the last day will it be on time?

According to the current law it would be late as it could not be postmarked on the due date. Online banking gives the number of days it takes to process the payment. Leave enough days for the payment to be in the office on or before the due date as the envelopes do not come postmarked and are not accepted.
