NOTICE REGARDING MAILED TAX PAYMENTS POSTMARKS:

In November 2025, the federal government formally and quietly finalized changes to postmark procedures, which went into effect on December 24, 2025 and impacts individuals that use the United States Postal Service (USPS) to mail time-sensitive items.

Mail dropped off more than 50-miles from a regional hub is collected and postmarked the next day as opposed to the same day.

To ensure timely payment and avoid penalties that the Town cannot legally waive, taxpayers should either pay by dropping their payment in the drop box at 67 Fisk Road, or request hand-cancellation at a USPS retail counter when mailing payments near deadlines.

Mailbox deposits may result in delayed postmarks that could trigger late payment penalties.
