Important Notice 1: School District Taxes 
School District taxes are based on annual school budgets prepared by School District officials and approved by district voters.

Any questions or complaints regarding school taxes must be addressed directly to the taxing authority: Your elected School District officials.

By law, taxes due become a lien on December 1st, payable in two equal installments. The first-half installment is payable without penalty on or before January 10th.   The second-half installment is payable without penalty on or May 31st.  During this time, payments are made to Jillian Guthman, Receiver of Taxes, 100 Main Street, Huntington, NY 11743.
