NEW POSTMARK RULES FOR PAYMENTS

The new USPS postmark rule took effect on December 24, 2025 and affects mail dropped in a mailbox or blue postal box 

where postmarks will be applied at regional sorting facilities 

so the date stamped will be when the processing begins, not when you mailed it.

Tax payments, charitable contributions, legal filings, rent payments and other bills or items that rely on postmark dates for deadlines 

can be impacted by later postmarks and risk late fees, penalties or delinquency.

Time-sensitive mail should be mailed several days before deadline or 

go inside your post office and ask for a hand-stamped postmark on the date you mail.

TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that taxes may be paid on or before January 31, 2026 without a penalty. On all taxes received after such date, there shall be added interest of one percent for the month of February and two percent for the month of March.
TAXPAYERS have the option of a two-payment installment plan. The first payment (one-half of the total; 1st installment amount indicated on the tax bill) must be paid by January 31st, and the second installment (one-half of the total plus interest) is due on or before March 31st. Pursuant to the provision of New York State Real Property Tax Law Section 987, effective June 1, 1990, all tax collecting officers must send a notice to each taxpayer whose taxes remain unpaid on March 16, 2026.
TAXES UNPAID by the close of business on March 31, 2026 will be turned over to the Ontario County Treasurer for collection.
