School Tax Information

The 2026–2027 school tax bills have been mailed. The District now accepts credit cards, debit cards, e-checks and digital wallets by clicking the "View & Pay your 26-27 Tax Bill" button on the right. A convenience fee will be charged by the third-party vendor that processes the on-line payments. The fees are not being collected by the Onteora Central School District. The applicable fee will be displayed during the online payment process before you authorize the transaction, allowing you to review the fee and choose whether or not to proceed with the online payment.

• E-check: $1.50 per transaction
• Credit/Debit Card: 2.65% of the payment amount

As a reminder, all property owners will receive a tax bill. If your school taxes are escrowed through your mortgage lender, please do not make a payment. Instead, check with your mortgage lender to confirm that they will make the payment on your behalf.
