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
• payment must be at least 50% of the amount due at the time of payment
• penalties for late payment will be assessed according to the late payment schedule
• taxpayers are urged to contact the Tax Office before making any partial payments.

Special hours during the penalty free period of tax collection is the Friday before the 15th of February and October from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. for your convenience.

A night box at the rear door of Town Hall is available for tax payments (checks only).
