• External Drop Box
  We have installed an external drop box that is available 24 hours a day to submit your payment in a contactless means. All deposits will be collected at 9 a.m. every business day by the Clerk's Office and processed using the previous business day's date.

  The drop box is located outside the east wing entrance of Town Hall. There is a mailbox adjacent to the drop box where you can find envelopes and a pencil if you should want to include a note with what you're dropping off.

  Please be advised that the only form of payment accepted in the drop box will be check or money order. Please be sure to include a payment stub to ensure proper processing.

• Internal Drop Box
  We have a self-service drop box available in our west wing entrance during normal business hours. Please be advised that the only form of payment accepted in the drop box will be check or money order. Please be sure to include a payment stub to ensure proper processing.

• Mail in your payment
  Make your check payable to "Receiver of Taxes, Henrietta" and PLEASE list your account number on your check - mail payment stub and payment to:

  Receiver of Taxes, Henrietta
  P.O. Box 579
  Henrietta, NY 14467

  POSTMARKS: New York State Real Property Tax Laws govern tax collection. The United States Post Office Postmark date determines whether a payment is on time. Any payment postmarked on or before the due date will be considered on time. It is strongly suggested, if payment is mailed on the due date, to walk into the Post Office and have the date hand stamped by a Postal Employee.

  METERED MAIL: Tax payments delivered by the U.S. Postal Service after the due date that do not contain an official U.S. Post Office Postmark but rather a “postage meter” mark are not considered timely; the received date will be used as the date of payment.

• Come in to our office during normal business hours
  At the Town Clerk's Office counter, acceptable forms of payment for taxes include cash, personal check, certified or cashier's check, and money order.

• Online Bill Pay
  Most banks discourage the use of online banking for tax payments because they cannot guarantee your payment will be delivered to our office by the due date. If you utilize online banking, you do so at your own risk, but we advise against it. For further information, please read: Why Online Bill Pay is Not Recommended for Tax Payments.

 WHEN ARE TAXES DUE?

The Receiver of Taxes in the Town of Henrietta collects taxes for BOTH the Combined Town & County tax bill and the School tax bill. The tax deadlines are the same every year and because property owners are responsible for the taxes whether they receive a bill or not, we strongly suggest marking your calendar or setting up automatic reminders for the due dates.
