TAX REMINDERS:
Detailed information on how and where to pay your taxes can be found on your tax bill.

STATE LAW:
According to the Real Property Tax Law §922, the failure to mail a tax bill or the failure of a property owner to receive a tax bill will not affect the validity of the taxes or interest prescribed by law. Also, we are not legally allowed to change or rescind penalties.
PAYMENT INFORMATION:
Please make sure your check is made out correctly - pay to, date, written and numerical amounts must match. Any checks incorrectly made out will be returned and may be subject to a penalty if received by the Tax Collector after the penalty free period. *We do not accept Post Dated Checks (May be subject to penalties)
On payments made by check, change for less than $1.00 will not be returned.
If payment is made by mail, the United States Postal Service postmark (not a postage meter mark) is used as the payment date (RPTL §925). If there is no postmark, the date received will be used as the payment date.
If using an online banking service to pay your bill, please read your agreement as the bank may not mail your payment out for up to 7 days after withdrawing money from your account. (Remember - Payment date is considered to be the postmark date or received date if no postmark.)
The Town of Victor Now Accepts Credit Cards for Municipal Payments. (Fees Apply)
As stated on the tax bill, please return the ENTIRE bill with your payment to receive a receipt, to:
Debra J. Denz, Tax Collector
Town of Victor
85 East Main Street
Victor, NY 14564-1397
