What are my payment options?

As always, you may pay your current tax bill in person and by mail. Payments may be made in person at the Receiver of Taxes Office located at:
200 N Franklin Street
Hempstead, NY 11550

The EZ-Pay Drive-Thru Payment Window is located behind the Receiver's Office, our satellite offices are located at Levittown Hall and Rock Hall Museum, and our Mobile Tax Office.

In addition, you may pay your tax bill online or by telephone using a credit card or electronic check. Payment by credit card will incur a convenience fee of 2.3% of your total tax payment. Please note that a minimum convenience fee of $1.50 applies for credit card transactions. VISA Personal Debit transactions for tax payments are a flat rate fee of $3.95 per transaction. A flat fee of $0.90 will be charged for electronic check payments. These fees are not payable to the Town of Hempstead, but rather to eGov Strategies, the company that processes the credit card and electronic check transactions. Under New York State law, the Receiver of Taxes must collect the full tax amount; therefore the credit card user must incur this fee.
