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.
