The second-half 2016 general taxes for North Hempstead taxpayers were due on July 1 and payable without penalty until Aug. 10. If submitted anywhere from Aug. 11-31, a two percent penalty will be applied. If the taxes remain unpaid, this year’s general tax first-half and any penalties must be paid prior to or included with the second-half general tax. Mailed payments must be postmarked by the U.S. Postal Service on or before the last day to pay without penalty (Aug. 10). By law, office postage meters are not official postmarks (NYSRPTL-Sec 925). After Aug. 31, any unpaid 2016 general taxes, penalties and fees will be payable to the Nassau County Treasurer, located at: 1 West St. Mineola, NY 11501.
