Although Governor Cuomo has issued an Executive Order temporarily allowing the pre-payment of certain property taxes, this Executive Order does not authorize the Inc. Village of Village of Hempstead to accept pre-payment of taxes for the 2018/19 fiscal year.
This Executive Order only affects Villages that have a tax year that begins on January 1st. Hempstead Village’s tax year begins on June 1stof the year and tax warrants are not effective until June 1st.
If you paid your Village December 1st taxes, you have already paid your taxes through May 31, 2018. You may still deduct the amount of the Village taxes from your 2017 income for Federal Tax purposes, as you have been able to do in years past.
General taxes and School taxes are collected by the Town. For further information on the payment of General and School taxes, please contact the Office of the Town of Hempstead Receiver of Taxes at (516) 538-1500.
