Monroe County, New York property-tax payment and appeal deadlines
Tax bills, payment rules, and valuation-review windows are controlled by the local jurisdiction and the governing state framework. The reviewed record below separates published figures from items that still require confirmation with Monroe County Real Property Tax Service.
Rate context
Confirmcounty, city/town/village, school-district, and special-district rates vary; no single countywide effective 2026 rate is published.
Statement mailing
PublishedFor 2026, the combined Town/County bill is mailed by December 31, 2025; school tax bills are mailed by August 31, 2026. The county does not publish one countywide mailing day beyond those schedules.
Payment deadline
Published2026 Town/County taxes are due February 10, 2026, with optional installments due February 10, February 28, March 30, and April 30. School tax due dates are set by the applicable school district.

PublishedMay 26, 2026 is the standard New York Board of Assessment Review grievance day (the fourth Tuesday in May); local municipalities may publish alternate dates. File Form RP-524 with the applicable local assessor.
Do not assume a grace period.
The reviewed record identifies the payment timing above but does not establish a universal penalty schedule for this page. Late charges, interest, collection costs, tax-sale procedures, and lien or foreclosure timelines can depend on state law and the local collector’s process. If the deadline is close or a balance is delinquent, contact the tax collector directly and request the current payoff amount in writing.
Treat a published payment deadline as a hard operational date and retain your receipt or confirmation number.
From assessment to collection
01Valuation and notice
Review the assessment notice as soon as it arrives. The protest window may run from the notice date rather than from the payment due date.
02Statement and account review
Match the tax statement to the parcel or account number and confirm exemptions, assessed value, taxing units, credits, and balance.
03Payment confirmation
Use the official collector channel, then save the receipt, transaction reference, and date posted. A bank submission is not always the same as a county posting date.
