Tax Bills

School tax bills are mailed to taxpayers at the end of August every year.  Payments made through September 30th are without penalty.  Payments made between October 1st and October 31st are charged a 2% penalty.  Payments made November 1st and November 3rd are charged a 3% penalty. No payments can be accepted after November 3rd by the school district as all unpaid taxes at that point are turned over to the Orange County Commissioner of Finance. Taxpayers can make payments at Orange County Commissioner of Finance until November 15th with a 3% penalty.  Orange County Commissioner of Finance will not accept payment after November 15th.  After November 15th unpaid school taxes are re-levied onto the taxpayer's January property tax bill along with additional penalties.  

Methods of Payment:

1. Mail the tax bill along with payment to:  Cornwall Central School District, 24 Idlewild Avenue, Cornwall-on-Hudson, NY  12520  Attn: School Tax Collector.  Make checks payable to: Cornwall Central School District School Tax Collector. Payments must be postmarked by due date to avoid penalties. If the due date falls on the weekend and/or a federal holiday the due date automatically is extended to the next business day. A postage meter postmark is NOT a postmark made by the United States Post Office and cannot be deemed timely if received by the collecting officer after the due date.

Failure to receive a tax bill does not relieve you of your responsibility for payment.  It also will not constitute cause for cancellation of any penalty if the bill becomes delinquent.  (New York State Real Property Tax Law 922)
