Monticello, NY – Due to new State regulations, Sullivan County’s Installment Agreement Program for the payment of delinquent taxes has been modified.
“The most important change is that these agreements can only be made with residential properties. Commercial properties are no longer eligible,” County Treasurer Nancy Buck explains. “My office will use the Class Code assigned by town assessors to determine whether a parcel is residential.”
“Property owners also must owe between $500 and $30,000 in taxes – any outstanding amounts less than $500 or greater than $30,000 cannot be paid in installments, according to State law,” she adds.
Other rules to note:
- No more than five parcels owned by a single individual can be put into the Installment Agreement Program at one time.
- Current taxes that are due to towns during January, February and March cannot be included.
- Village taxes cannot be paid via installment agreements through Sullivan County.
