mortgage company. You and/or your lender are not exempt from the various
penalties, fees and proceedings that become relevant if an error results in the
late or non-payment of your property taxes.
Homeowners
who pay off their mortgage or are no longer escrowed for taxes are encouraged
to contact the Tax Office so that we may send all future tax bills directly to
you as the homeowner.
Homeowners
who have moved are encouraged to contact the Tax Office so that we may send the
taxes to the current address in a timely manner. Check NYS.gov/TAX for star information
