Property Tax Bills and Processing Payments
Town and County Tax Bills are due January 31 and School Taxes are due September 30. Notices are put in the Springville Journal (the Town of Ashford Official Newspaper) with specific payment information and hours of collection. A municipality is not required to send out tax bills however, the Town of Ashford does send them as a courtesy. It is up to the property owner to know when the taxes are due and seek out the amounts should the tax bill not be received. School Taxes paid in October incur a penalty and if not paid before October 31 are added to the Town and County Tax Bill. Town and County Taxes paid in February incur a 1% penalty and paid in March a 2% penalty. Delinquent notices will be sent pursuant to NYS Real Property Law and after March 15th taxes paid will incur an additional $2 fee per bill to offset the cost of mailing the delinquent notice.
