County Says “NOT POSSIBLE” TO HAVE 2018 Tax Warrants Out IN NEXT 4 DAYS

Posted on December 26, 2017 by John Bailey

BULLETIN

WPCNR COUNTY CLARION-LEDGER. Statement from Ned McCormack, Senior Advisor to the County Executive. 3:45 P.M.E.ST.:

“In Westchester, the collection of property taxes is the responsibility of local municipalities. A number of municipalities are saying people can pre-pay their 2018 property taxes based on their 2017 bills and reconcile any discrepancies next year. Although this may be an option for some people, ultimately, the question of deductibility will be decided by the IRS.

Westchester County has looked into the feasibility of having residents pre-pay their county taxes. It is just not possible for the county to issue its 2018 tax warrants to localities within the next four days for a whole host of legal, operational and practical reasons.

By law, the county can only issue one complete warrant for the 259,034 properties across all of Westchester’s localities and special districts.

There is no way to do this responsibly by the end of the year given all of the laws that the county must follow under Westchester’s charter and the U.S. tax code, as well as a host of other variables and unknowns.”

City Issues Status of Paying 2017-18 Taxes Prior to End of Year–No Warrant from County Yet for 2018

Posted on December 26, 2017 by John Bailey

WPCNR QUILL AND EYESHADE. From the City of White Plains. December 26, 2017:

Property tax bills for the 2nd half 2017-18 city and school district taxes have already been issued and residents can pay those bills now. Payments are due on January 31, 2018, however, residents may pay any time in advance of the due date. Payments may be made in person at the Finance window in City Hall, by mail, or online.

The City has not yet received the tax warrant from the County for 2018 County property taxes. According to the Governor’s Executive Order, if the City of White Plains receives the County warrant before December 29th, residents may pay their 2018 estimated County tax bill in 2017. Payments may be made in person at the Finance window in City Hall. Without the warrant, however, the City has no authority to accept payment for 2018 County property taxes.

The City of White Plains makes no representation regarding the impact of payment in December on federal tax liability. Property owners are advised to contact their tax advisors or the IRS in regard to whether early payment may be deducted on their federal tax returns.
