Taxes are billed for the year July 1 through June 30. On or before July 15th, one tax bill is sent to each property's Owner Of Record (OOR) as of April 1st. The OOR is responsible for the payment of taxes even if the property is sold. Any delinquencies at the end of the year will go under the original owner's name. If the taxes are escrowed with a mortgage escrow company, it is the taxpayers responsibility to forward the tax bill to the escrow company. If the property is sold, it is the original property owner's responsibility to forward the tax bill to the new owner. The percentage of taxes owed by the parties involved should be decided at closing, especially if a parcel is subdivided, as the town has no responsibility in deciding how much each party owes.
Taxes are due quarterly on the 15th of August, November, February and May. Payments are considered on time if they are mailed (Huntington Town Office ) with a postmark of the 15th or earlier or if they are delivered to the Town Clerk/Treasurer's office before midnight on the 15th. Mail placed through the slot in the town office door is accepted (must be before midnight). Late payments are subject to a 1% per month interest charge. Checks should be made payable to the "Town of Huntington". Taxes remaining unpaid on May 16th are considered delinquent and are subject to an additional 8% delinquency fee. Delinquent taxes should be mailed or delivered to the delinquent tax collector, Brent Lamoureux .
Town Treasurer: Dan Stoddard Delinquent tax collector: Brent Lamoureux
