Payments can be made on our web site, www.villageofossining.org during the months of January and July only.  To access your property tax bill on-line, you will need information found on the property tax bill.

When mailing taxes in the last few days of the month in which they are due, make certain that you witness a “Timely Official United States Postmark” being affixed to the envelope.  Effective January 2003, U.S. Postal Service, Airborne Express, UPS, Fed Ex or DHL World Wide Express are acceptable forms of timely postmarks.  Postage meters (i.e. Pitney Bowes) and foreign postmarks are not accepted.  Where an envelope containing payment of local taxes has no acceptable Postmark date, payment of such taxes is deemed to have been made on the date the payment is received. 

New York State Law provides that the Village Treasurer CANNOT waive penalties on real estate taxes received after the due date FOR ANY REASON.
