Tax Payment Information
 |
Municipal Tax Collector responsibilities include mailing, receiving and processing the General or Town and County Tax Bill for the Town of Marbletown. The bills are usually mailed during the first week of January. Taxes may be paid in the full amount billed or in equal half payments. Payments made after February 1st must include interest; interest rates are as follows:
Feb. 2 - Mar. 1 1%
Mar. 2 - Apr. 1 2%
Apr. 2 - May 1 3%
May 2 - June 1 4%
Payment can be made by cash, money order and by check made payable to Marbletown Tax Collector. The mailing address is the same for Town offices in general: Tax Collector, PO Box 217, Stone Ridge, NY 12484-0217.
Tax bills include a schedule for amounts due and a variety of other information. It is important that the office has your correct mailing address in order for tax bills and other correspondence from the Town to reach you.
After June 1st the local Tax Collector can no longer accept payments. Payments made after June 1st should be directed to the Ulster County Department of Finance. Contact information for the Department of Finance is: (845) 340-3431 or PO Box 1800, Kingston, NY 12402.
Some points of information:
- The Town's fiscal year is Jan. 1 to Dec. 31.
- School Tax bills are mailed by the School District in September and can be paid to the School Tax Collector until early November. They also can be paid in full or in equal halves. Unpaid school tax bills, plus 3% interest, are turned over to the Ulster County Department of Finance who adds them to the next Town General Tax bill with an additional 7 % interest included. Once added to the General Tax amount the school tax becomes part of the total due and cannot be paid separately.
