Pursuant to the VP Branch Manager of our bank (Tompkins), we can not accept Third Party Checks as a form of payment for your School Taxes, Property Taxes and/or Water & Sewer accounts. Thank you for your understanding in this regard.
Please take note that payments are deemed timely or late based on the postmark that appears on the payment envelope. A postmark dated the due date or earlier is acceptable as timely. An envelope received beyond the due date with no postmark or a postmark beyond the due date will result in a penalty. Not all envelopes receive postmarks, such as bulk mail (on-line payments from banks), metered mail, and mail processed by USPS equipment that does not carry a postmark. Lastly, we have begun to receive first class mail without postmarks as well.
The only way to ensure timely payments through the mail is to bring your envelope to the Post Office on time to have it hand cancelled at the counter by the postal clerk or Postmaster. Please check the envelope to ensure the postmark is legible. Postal clerks often postmark over a stamp making the postmark illegible.

IMPORTANT: PLEAS READ:
U.S. Postal Service Changes Postmark Rules
Our mail is no longer being postmarked locally. After the mail is picked up from your mailbox, it will be shipped to a distribution center for processing and that is when it will be postmarked. At present, mail is being shipped to Albany, Newburgh, Connecticut and New Jersey for processing. This change may result in a delay as to when your envelope will be postmarked .
Please note: payments are deemed timely or late based on the postmark. Please see “Important Information About Postmarks” for more information.
We do not accept postdated checks. We are required by law to deposit all payments received within 24 hours. Our bank will not accept a postdated check for deposit. You will be contacted by the telephone number you provided with your payment and asked to come in and correct the date of your check. If we are unable to reach you, your postdated check will be returned to you by regular mail.
