The County guarantees, the  seventeen (17) townships, sixteen (16) school districts  and  nine (9) villages within the County 100% of their annual tax levy by assuming responsibility for the enforcement of all of their unpaid taxes. The Treasurer’s Office enforcement proceedings adhere to the rigid mandates of Article 11 of the New York State Real Property Tax Law.

Unpaid Village Taxes and unpaid School Taxes are turned into the County Treasurer on or before November 15th of each year.  The County Treasurer is authorized by Board of Supervisors’ Resolutions which are adopted annually to collect Village and School Taxes up until November 30th.
