Receiver of Taxes

Show All Answers

1. What period does the tax year cover?

The period your tax bill covers is a fiscal year that begins on December 1 and ends on November 30 of the following year.

2. When are tax bills mailed / posted to the website?

The Town Receiver of Taxes mails tax bills and posts them online by the second week of December. You should receive a bill no later than December 15th of each year. If you do not receive your bill by that date, you should contact the Tax Office at 631-451-9009.

3. Who gets a tax bill?

The property owner will receive a bill each year in December. If the property owner pays the taxes directly, the bill is a payment copy sent with payment instructions and a return envelope. If the property owner has an escrow account with a mortgage company, the owner receives an “Informational Only” copy of the bill, and the mortgage company receives the payment information directly. Senior citizens or disabled persons may designate a third party to receive copies of their bills. Contact the tax office for a third party notification form.

4. Does my mortgage company know about my star or other exemptions?

Yes. Your mortgage company receives information regarding the payment due. All exemptions are reflected in the amount provided to the mortgage company.

5. When are taxes due?

Taxes are payable to the Receiver of Taxes from December 1 to May 31. Taxes may be paid in two installments. The first half is due by January 10. The second half is due by May 31.

After January 10, there is a 1% per month interest charge added to the unpaid first half tax amount until May 31.

February 11 to March 10	2%
March 11 to April 10	3%
April 11 to May 10	4%
May 11 to May 31	5%

After May 31, taxes become delinquent and are payable to the Suffolk County Comptroller's Office. In addition to the tax amount due, a 5% penalty is added together with interest at the rate of 1% per month calculated from February 1. (Note: Interest is calculated on the total of tax and penalty).

7. I did not receive my tax bill. Must I pay penalties and interest?

Yes. It is the responsibility of the taxpayer to pay taxes on property they own. Even though the owner does not receive a tax bill, it is the owner’s obligation to secure a tax bill and make payment. The taxpayer, therefore, is liable for all penalties and interest on late payments.

8. To whom do I make the payment and where is it mailed?

Payments made between December and May are paid to Louis J. Marcoccia, Receiver of Taxes and mailed to:

Tax payments sent by the U.S. mail are credited by the date postmarked on the envelope. A postage-metered postmark is not acceptable. It is suggested that a taxpayer making a tax payment by mail close to a deadline date should take the mail to the Post Office and have it hand cancelled, or send it certified or registered mail.

10. May I pay my taxes in person?

Yes. The Tax Office in Town Hall is open Monday through Friday (9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) except legal holidays.

11. What if I can't pay the total amount due?

Yes, however please note, partial payments can not be accepted online. Pay your taxes online. Each visitor will register and be given access to 2 parcels. 

If you own more than 2 two parcels, select support and with proper authentication. You can request access to your additional properties. You will only need to register once.

Methods of payment include:

• All Major Credit Cards: with a convenience fee of 2.35% on the amount that is being charged (not collected by the Town of Brookhaven).
• E-Check; with a convenience fee of $1.75 (not collected by the Town of Brookhaven).

No. Any check, credit card payment or e-check returned unpaid will not be re-deposited. The tax payment will be cancelled and a $20 returned check charge will be added to the payment in addition to any appropriate penalty or interest charge.

14. I have moved - who do I contact to change my address?

If you still own the property notify the Receiver of Taxes. Do not rely on the post office to forward mail indefinitely. Inform the Receiver of Taxes if you wish to have tax bills mailed to an address other than the property location. If you have sold the property and still receive a tax bill, contact the Receiver of Taxes with the name of the new owner.

15. I just purchased property in the Town of Brookhaven. Do I need to contact anyone regarding real property taxes?

Since it is the owner’s responsibility to pay taxes on property they own, it is recommended that you immediately notify the Receiver of Taxes to obtain a current bill to ascertain the amount of the tax payment and when the payment is due.

16. I have paid-off my mortgage and taxes had been escrowed by my mortgage company. Who do I notify regarding my real property tax bill?
