School Tax Bill Information

DUE TO HEALTH AND SAFETY CONCERNS, PAYMENTS WILL NO LONGER BE ACCEPTED AT THE DISTRICT OFFICE.

School tax bills will be mailed to all taxpayers on or around August 31, 2023. If your taxes are escrowed through a bank, please forward the bill to your bank. School tax bills are also available on the following website www.taxlookup.net

The tax collection period is:

September 1, 2023 - September 30, 2023, without payment of penalty
October 1, 2023 – October 31, 2023 with a 1% penalty

After November 3, 2023, we are no longer able to process tax payments.  For approximately two weeks, the Ulster County Department of Finance will collect certified funds at a 3% penalty on the base amount owed before the taxes will be re-levied onto your general property tax bill with an additional 7% penalty.

Please contact the Ulster County Department of Finance at 845-340-3431 to make arrangements for payment options with them.
