Town of North Hempstead Receiver of Taxes Charles Berman reminds residents that the last day to pay the 2018-2019 school taxes — first-half bill without a penalty is Tuesday, Nov. 13.
First-half of the 2018-2019 school tax payments must be postmarked by the U.S. Postal Service on or before Nov. 13 to avoid penalty. Note that the Office of the Receiver of Taxes is closed on Monday, Nov. 12 in observance of Veterans Day.
Online tax payment information is shown on the reverse side of your bill. Online payments may be made by check or credit card at: www.northhempsteadny.gov.
Credit card payments may only be made online and cannot be processed by cashiers. Online credit card payment processing rates are 2.35% of the tax amount (fee schedule can be found on the Town’s website).
When paying with an online check through your bank, schedule the payment at least 10 days prior to the deadline, and be sure to include your 2018-2019 school tax bill number and your section, block, and lot.
When paying in person, you may pay your bill at 200 Plandome Road in Manhasset during normal business hours, Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. (Saturdays, Sundays and holidays excepted).
The Tax Office will be open until 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 13. You may also pay at the following sites with check or money order only on the dates and times specified. Bring your entire bill with you when paying in person.
