Homeowners Can Still Pay School Tax Bill Without Fees, Interest

OYSTER BAY, NY — There is still time to homeowners who missed the May 12 deadline to pay the 2024-2025 school taxes.

Town of Oyster Bay Receiver of Taxes Jeffrey Pravato reminds residents that the pay the bill by June 2. There is a New York State mandated two-percent penalty, but homeowner would avoid accruing interest and fees on their property.

To make a late payment, you should immediately contact the Receiver's office at (516) 624-6400.

“Taxpayers in the Town of Oyster Bay are already paying some of the highest school taxes in the nation, and I want to make sure that our residents do not pay more out of pocket than they have to," Pravato said.

Payments postmarked after June 2 cannot be accepted. Those payments must be sent to the Nassau County Treasurer at 1 West Street, Mineola, NY 11501.

In September, the Nassau County treasurer will be mailing notices to all property owners with taxes in arrears. Receiver Pravato advises homeowners who fall under those circumstances to contact the treasurer at (516) 571-2090 to determine the amount owed.
