Im sure the line at the post office will be less than the line at the tax office.
What are you mailing? School payments or General?
I paid school online but I would like to pay off my 2018 general as well. I was told you would have to go to the office for that.

Not endorsing this nor saying it's accurate BUT seems to be the most thorough I've seen and the calculations match up closely to what I have on paper. So far, I think this is the best calculator I've found. Anyone else have a good one, please share.

2018 General. I just mailed it. Sent it certified for my own proof for 2017. $3.85 for a certified letter was worth my time vs waiting two hours at an office to pay in person.

Who told you General had to be paid in person? They cannot accept 2018 general online but the website says you can still mail a payment as long as the check is dated 2017 and envelope postmarked 2017. Why would they want to attract people to the office when they are already short staffed due to demand. They will take as many mailed payments as they can get.

At any rate, TOB would definitely want the money sooner than later so they will push this regardless. The question is whether the IRS will see it that way and from that text, they should.
How do you know exactly what your 2018 General taxes are when the county hasn't even billed you, same goes for the Village Taxes. If you hold a mortgage I could see that you might be able to prepay based on an estimate but not the County or village, they have not sent a bill.

I think people are not realizing you will be paying less taxes in your weekly pay check starting next year. The end of the world hysteria really is ridiculous.

This is exactly why we went in person to pay the bill. The County obviously doesnt have time to mail the new figures by 12/31 so you have to appear in person, give them your address, and they will look it up in the system to give you the new #. I personally wouldnt rely on mailing a check with an incorrect sum.

FWIW., the TOH will be open this weekend to allow for the extra people coming in to pay. I imagine TOB might do the same.

Town of oyster bay posted the actual numbers for all residents this week on their website. Even posted the number with the 1% discount for paying early. I don’t think other towns did this. Was real easy.

You can also get the number by going to LandRecord Lookup as the numbers for all towns in Nassau are posted there. Just subtract 1% off second half general for actual amount. Real easy. Doesn’t take a trip in person.

Just remember anyone who is paying AMT prepaying is completely useless.

So you only pay the 2nd half of the 2018 gen tax? I'm a new home owner and not sure how to pay the taxes. I paid 2018 school online since I received a bill from them.

My 2nd half of General 2018 tax is $2,557. 1% discount is -$25.57

I should send a check of $2,531.43 written to Town of Hempstead with my Section, Block and Lot in certified mail?

I sent for both halves general. I am not sure why you would only send the second half. So for you it would be $2557 + 2557 - 25.57 as your discount.
