Second half school tax due

Oyster Bay Town residents are reminded that the second half of the 2005-2006 School Tax Levy is due on April 1, but can be paid without penalty through May 10. Please be certain to sign your check, payable to James J. Stefanich, Receiver of Taxes. Indicate your property's S.D. Code, Section, Block, Lot and Phone number on the check.

By law, a taxpayer has a 40-day grace period from the date the tax is due during which payment may be made without penalty. After the 40 days, a one percent penalty is added for each month the tax remains unpaid, retroactive to April 1st.

Residents can pay in person, by either cash or check, at the Tax Office, Oyster Bay Town Hall West, 74 Audrey Ave., Oyster Bay, or by check only at the Receiver of Taxes counter located in the Town Clerk's Office, Town Hall South, 977 Hicksville Rd., Massapequa. In addition, the Hicksville Annex, Newbridge Road and Duffy Avenue, Town of Oyster Bay Parking Structure, will be open to accept payments by check only, from 9 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. on May 3, 4, 7, 8, 9 and 10. Residents who prefer to mail in their payments should send them to the Office of the Receiver of Taxes, 74 Audrey Ave., Oyster Bay, N.Y. 11771-1539.

When paying the tax bill in person, taxpayers are reminded to bring the entire tax bill with their payments. Payments being made by mail should include the second half stub. Residents should not write on, fold, staple or otherwise deface the tax stub as it can cause the computer system to reject payment.

When calling the Tax Office for information on property taxes, residents are requested to have the school district, section, block and lot numbers of the property in question available.
