DUTIES OF TAX RECEIVER: Our job for the taxpayers of the Town of Catskill is simply a bookkeeper. We do not make property assessments, that is the job of the Sole Assessor (518) 943-3212. We do not foreclose property on unpaid taxes, that is the job of the County Treasurer (518) 719-3527. We CANNOT wave taxes or penalties, that is the job of the Greene County Legislature (518) 719-3530. If you have any questions regarding these issues please contact the responsible offices. If you need tax information or wish to pay taxes anytime of the year until July 31st please feel free to contact us @ (518) 943-4618 x 5. This is the areas where we can help.
KEEPING INFORMATION CORRECT: We are constantly making corrections and updating our tax roll. We need you to keep us informed whenever there is a change in your status. Please use any of the links above or call our Sole Assessor; Ms. Nancy McCoy @ (518) 943-3132, with any changes to make sure all information is correct and up to date!
3RD PARTY NOTIFICATION: If you would like to have a duplicate tax bill, please fill out the form using the link above. Sometimes, situations arise where children would like to make sure their aging parents pay their bills and they ask us to send them a copy of the tax bill. There are other reasons for duplicates as well. We are happy to provide this service. Please go to the link above (3rd Party Notification..); fill out the form and email or mail it to us.
CHANGE OF STATUS: If you are a new owner or there is a change in your status, (i.e. address, escrow, primary residence, 3rd party notification etc.) PLEASE notify us immediately. The process for updating information is slower than we would like, therefore, we ask that property owners, NOTIFY US BY TELEPHONE, EMAIL OR IN PERSON, ASAP! During the time when the tax office is closed please advise the Sole Town Assessor; Nancy McCoy by telephone @ 943-3132 or by using the link at the top of this page to give her all relevant information.
MAILING TAX BILLS IS A COURTESY & NOT REQUIRED BY LAW!
All taxpayers should be aware of their responsibilities for paying taxes on their property and not RELY on our office for billing. If you have NOT received a bill, PLEASE CALL US @ (518) 943-4618; X5 ASAP.
A WORD ABOUT THE MAIL: We cannot speak for the US Post Office. If your bill or receipt has not arrived please call our office to inquire. (518) 943-4618 x 5.
A WORD ABOUT POSTMARKS: NYS Real Property Law states that we must respect the postmark on payments. Therefore, when you pay your taxes near the end of a month MAKE SURE the post office worker stamps the envelope in your presence which will guarantee the postmark!
