- Tax Office Window Hours: 9:00 a.m.—3:30 p.m. Located in the Administration Building on the High School complex at 3 Blue Streak Blvd., Saratoga Springs NY.
- Adirondack Trust: Any branch (518-584-5844). Adirondack Trust can only accept checks for the exact payment amount with the original colored installment stub by the due date on the bill. No payments with late fees will be collected at the bank.
- Mail a payment: SSCSD—Tax Collector, PO Box 378, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866. ** According to Real Property Tax Law §925 U.S. Postmark determines the date of payment. Real Property Tax Law (RPTL) §925 states; “When mailing your payment, payment is determined by US Post Mark”.
-
- If the postmark does not appear on such wrapper or the postmark is illegible such payment shall be deemed to have been made on the date of delivery to such collection officer.
- A postage meter mark is NOT a postmark made by the US Post Office and, therefore, is not within the provisions of RPTL §925. Payments cannot be deemed timely because of a postage meter postmark date on an envelope.
- If mailing your payment within two weeks of the date due, it is recommended that you bring your envelope to the counter at the Post Office and request a hand cancel (USPM) on your envelope. Payments received after the date due without a USPM or a late USPM will be returned.
- The School District does not accept Post-dated checks.
Change in Escrow
If you pay a third party “escrow company” to handle your taxes and a change is made (addition, removal or change of escrow company) please contact the office to notify us by e-mail or phone.
The original bill is mailed in September with two installment stubs. Installments are payable October 4th and February 4th. If a change is made after the initial bill was mailed, a copy can be obtained but the original bill is no longer available.
