The Village Property Tax is due, in one payment, on
June 1 of every year. There is a one-month
"grace period" which allows the tax to be paid any
day on or before July 1 without incurring a penalty.
Payments
must be made in person, or postmarked by July 1, to
avoid a late penalty.
Property
Tax Statements (bills) are mailed to property owners
and/or tax agencies mid-May. If you do not receive
a tax statement by the end of May please contact the
Village Administrator/Treasurer at Village Hall.
The amount of tax due is based on the assessed value
of a property multiplied by the tax rate.
Assessments are determined by the Town of Huntington.
Any questions regarding assessment amounts, or the
process to grieve an assessment, should be directed
to the Town's Assessors Office (631-351-2804).
The annual tax rate is set by the Board of Trustees
of the Village of Huntington Bay. It is determined
as a result of the annual budget process. A public
budget hearing is held in April and Village residents
are welcome to participate. Once the budget is adopted,
a rate is established which reflects the funds necessary
to meet the planned expenditures for the coming year.
