Too Late to Pay School Taxes

Those who haven't paid now face penalties.

Oyster Bay Receiver of Taxes James J. Stefanich has announced that the 2009-10 School Tax Collection Warrant has been closed and all related records have been turned over to the Nassau County treasurer.

A list of delinquent property payments was reported to the county treasurer, amounting to $20,162,943.64.

Property owners with delinquent taxes will be contacted by the Nassau County Treasurer's office. Owners will be receiving letters specifying taxes owed along with applicable penalties and late payment fees.

School districts are independent of local municipal government. School taxes are set by the school districts, and the Town of Oyster Bay is not involved in that process. Stefanich says questions related to school tax rates and amounts should be addressed to the resident's school district. The telephone number for each school district is printed on the back of the school tax bill.
