Tax Payments Due Dates:
      Town & County Taxes, February 16, 2010 without penalty.
      School Taxes, October 15, 2010 without penalty. 

After the due dates, penalties are assessed according to Erie County Tax Act and NYS Real Property Tax Law Sec 925.  There is no provision for the waiver of penalties.  The penalty schedule is located on the front of the tax bills.
In the event that a check is returned by the bank, for whatever reason, the payment date of the account may be affected and penalties also may be applied.

PARTIAL PAYMENT OF TAXES
The Town of Cheektowaga Tax Receiver was instrumental in augmenting legislation to allow taxpayers to make partial payments on their tax bill.  It is important that the taxpayer understand the rules for making such payments:

• there must be no prior year tax due on the property
• penalties for late payment will be assessed according to the late payment schedule
• making a partial payment on or before the due date does not stop penalities from being added to the balance,
• taxpayers are urged to contact the Tax Office before making any partial payments.
