Where to pay (Nassau Town Receivers of Taxes)

Common Nassau payment questions

Why is my Nassau bill paid in two halves of two different taxes?

Historic budgeting. School districts adopt their budgets on a different calendar than the County and Town. Nassau bills the school tax half in October and again in April; the general (county + town + special districts) tax half in January and July.

Can I pay my full annual Nassau bill at once?

Yes. Most Nassau towns accept the full annual amount in October (covering both school halves) or January (full general tax). Confirm with your Town Receiver.

I just bought my Nassau home. When does my first bill arrive?

Within 30-60 days of closing your name and address are added to the tax roll. You'll receive the next half-cycle bill at your new address. If closing happens mid-cycle, prorated payment is handled at closing.
