Town of Oyster Bay residents who missed the Aug. 10 deadline for paying their 2026 general taxes can still pay the bill by Aug. 31 with the state-mandated two percent late payment penalty while avoiding additional interest and fees from accruing on their property.
Late payers should immediately contact the Receiver of Taxes’ office at (516) 624-6400 if they did not receive a second notification with a delinquent tax bill. Payments postmarked after Aug. 31 cannot be accepted since the collection warrant will have expired. Those payments must be sent to the Nassau County Treasurer at 1 West Street, Mineola, New York 11501.
In September, the Nassau County treasurer will be mailing notices to all property owners with taxes in arrears. Town of Oyster Bay Receiver Jeffrey Pravato advises homeowners who fall under those circumstances to contact the Nassau County Treasurer at (516) 571-2090 to determine the amount due. They may also visit the Treasurer’s office at 1 West Street in Mineola.
“Taxpayers in the Town of Oyster Bay are already paying some of the highest property taxes in the nation,” Pravato wrote in a statement, “and I want to make sure that our residents do not pay more out of pocket than they have to.”
