Receiver of Taxes Charles Berman reminds taxpayers that the last day to pay the Town of North Hempstead 2016 general taxes second-half bill without a penalty is Wednesday, Aug. 10, 2016. The U.S. Postal Service must postmark mailed payments on or before Aug.10, 2016 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.
Berman also announces that his office will be open from 9 a.m.-7 p.m. on Wednesday, August 10, 2016. In addition to paying in person at the Receiver of Taxes’ office at 200 Plandome Rd.
