**Real Property Tax Law (RPTL) 925 states : *USPM (when mailing your payment)-
• If the postmark does not appear on such wrapper or the postmark is illegible such payment shall be deemed to have been made on the date of delivery to such collection officer.
• A postage meter mark is NOT a postmark made by the US Post Office and, therefore, is not within provisions of RPTL 925. Payments cannot be deemed timely because of a postage meter postmark on an envelope.

Taxes not paid by Nov 1, 2025 are turned over to the appropriate County for collection. 

At that point additional penalties will be imposed.  Contact the County tax service office to determine the balance owed. Uncollected amounts at the county will be re-levied on the town and county tax bill.
