Town of North Hempstead Receiver of Taxes Charles Berman reminds taxpayers that the last day to pay the Town of North Hempstead 2017-2018 School taxes – second-half bill without a penalty is Thursday, May 10.
The U.S. Postal Service must postmark mailed payments on or before May 10 to avoid a penalty.
By law, office postage meters are not official postmarks. The Receiver of Taxes recommends that taxpayers mailing payments on the last day have their payments hand stamped at the post office to ensure a timely postmark.
The town receiver’s office office will be open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursday, May 10. In addition to paying in person at the Receiver of Taxes’ office located at 200 Plandome Road (Town Hall Annex) in Manhasset, taxpayers may also pay in person with only a check or money order at the following local collection sites:
