County/Town Tax bills are mailed out by the printer the last week of December. Tax payments are due in full, without penalty, no later than January 31st. Payments from February 1 through July 31,add an additional 1% per month. On August 1, tax bills are returned to the Greene County Treasurer for collection with additional fees and penalties added to the balance due.

We do not accept partial payments. If we receive more than one check per parcel, those checks will be returned to you and we will request only one check be issued for full payment for a parcel. You can pay multiple parcels on one check.

A Word About Postmarks

NYS Real Property Law states that we must respect the postmark on payments. Therefore, when you pay your taxes near the end of a month MAKE SURE the post office staff stamps the envelope in your presence which will guarantee the postmark! A postage meter stamp is not an acceptable form of a postmark. We do not accept the date on the check either. If payment is received with a postmark after the month ends and your payment does not include the applicable additional interest, we will return the payment to you. You will need to write a new check for the proper amount. PLEASE NOTE-IF PAYING VIA YOUR ONLINE BANKING, SCHEDULE PAYMENTS AT LEAST 10 DAYS PRIOR TO DUE DATE, AS THESE ENVELOPES ARRIVE WITHOUT A POSTMARK AND SUBJECT TO PENALTY IF RECEIVED AFTER JANUARY 31.

Please note the duties of the tax collector is to collect tax payments. The Assessor makes property assessments, STAR, senior exemptions, Veteran exemption, address changes, and deed changes. Richard Tollner can be reached at Town Hall 518-734-4566. The Greene County Treasurer forecloses on properties for unpaid taxes.
