Village Tax Bills
The village mailed tax bills today to residents and their banks. The first half of village taxes are due during the month of June and will be delinquent and subject to a penalty if payment is not made by July 1. If you have a question, please call the tax department at village hall at 516-465-4156 between 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Reminder On-Line Payment Option For Village Tax Bills
As a reminder, as of June 1, residents are able to pay their 2015-16 village tax bill using the village’s on-line bill payment center. As with the village’s existing water payment center, you will have the option of paying with either a credit card (Visa, MasterCard or Discover) or Automated Clearing House (ACH) payment. (Additional fees to the credit card company may apply).
This option is located on the home page of the village’s web-site, gardencityny.net, (using the Bill Payment Center Icon) or from the Village Tax Department Information Page, by the orange”Piggy Bank.”
Please note that you will still be able to pay your taxes/water bills in person at village hall by cash, check or money order or via mail. If you choose to mail your tax/water bills, mail them to 351 Stewart Ave., Garden City and be sure to include the tax/water stub in the return envelope which is provided. We cannot process credit card payments at the village counter for tax or water payments.
