Methods of Payment:
CAUTION: Banking websites which allow the Bill Pay option should caution you that you should not pay your local, state or federal taxes by that method. The process of Bill Pay through a banking site typically sends your payment to a Payment Center and then to a mail-house. This will often result in a late payment. If you choose to use this method you will be responsible for any penalties that may occur if the payment is received late.*This does NOT refer to the Town of Islip Online Tax Payment System.
** Please note that not all bank accounts are online compatible. Accounts such as money market, trust or line of credit etc. may not be compatible with making an online payment. Please check with your bank or financial institution for details.

The Office of the Receiver of Taxes is not a policy making office, it is an administrative office. We do not determine the tax rates, we merely collect and distribute the taxes. Taxes are collected in accordance with New York State Real Property Tax laws and the Suffolk County Tax Act.
Town, County and School taxes in Suffolk County cover the period from December 1st through November 30th of the following year. Public Hearings are set for school, county and town budgets. Below is a description of how your taxes are divided up.
School Taxes:
School budgets are set by your local school districts. Every year you have the opportunity to vote on the school budget. This determines the amount of taxes you will pay for schools in your district.
County Taxes:
County Taxes are set by a county budget, approved by the County Executive and the Suffolk County Legislature.
Town Taxes:
Town Taxes are set by a town budget, approved by the Supervisor and Town Board.
