A reminder from the North Salem Tax Office

NORTH SALEM, N.Y. - The second half 2024/2025 school tax installments are due by Friday, Jan. 31, 2025 to avoid penalty. 

The tax office will be open extra collection hours on Saturday, Jan. 25, from 9 a.m. until noon and on Friday, Jan. 31, from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. weather permitting. The tax office is located at 270 Titicus Road. 

Please include your complete tax bill or the correct payment stub with your payment check! Mother Nature does not care that you may pay penalty due to rain, snow and ice. You should!! Residents are encouraged not to wait until the last day to mail or bring in their payments to help avoid penalties. Be sure to have a U.S. Postmark on any item sent near the end of the month. Payments received with no postmark or an office machine postmark after Friday, January 31,2025 will be returned for penalty. 

How to pay? Come to 270 Titicus Road (the red door) and visit the tax office  or place your envelope in the Tax Receiver’s drop box on the porch no later than 8 p.m. on January 31, 2025. Payments left later will be returned for penalty. Alternately, deliver your envelope with a stamp to a U.S. Post Office during business hours. Ask the clerk to hand stamp your envelope. OR pay online via credit card or electronic check. Convenience fees apply to both. Any credit card payments must be for the full amount of the bill plus penalty or for the installment due. Visit the North Salem Town website at www.northsalemny.gov and go to the Tax Department to view frequently asked questions regarding mailing and payment procedures.

Those who usually pay in cash are requested to please deposit your cash with your bank and forward a check, money order or teller’s check as payment.
