Where do I pay my property tax bill?
Tax bills are mailed in the beginning of the calendar year. Payment can be sent to the Town Clerk or paid in person during regular Clerk's hours. Sometimes your taxes are paid by a third party such as your mortgage holder.
Taxes must be paid in full when due, to prevent penalty fees. The Clerk cannot accept partial payment. There is no penalty when paid in January. A 1% penalty will be added to the amount due if paid in February; 2% penalty in March. After March 30th, payments cannot be accepted by the Clerk and must be paid directly to the Cattaraugus County Clerk. Please remember, the Town Clerk/Tax Collector has nothing to do with your property assessment nor your tax levy. Those concerns can be addressed by the Town Assessor. Additional questions can be viewed at the Cattaraugus County Website.
