 Welcome to the Office of the Receiver of Taxes. It is our distinct honor to serve the residents and property owners of the Town of Huntington.

We administer the collection of property taxes and collect the Dix Hills Water District usage payments. The tax due dates are January 10th (for the first half) and May 31st (for the second half).

After January 10, there is a 1% interest charge per month, added to the unpaid first half tax amount until May 31. After May 31*, all taxes become delinquent, and payments are to be made payable and sent to the Suffolk County Comptroller. For more Information on late payments see the FAQ.
Please note that the Office of the Receiver of Taxes is not a policy making office, rather, it provides an administrative function. We do not determine the tax rate or assessment. It is our responsibility to collect and distribute the taxes. Our actions are undertaken pursuant to New York State Real Property Tax Law and the Suffolk County Tax Act.

Please be aware that we collect the taxes for not just the Town of Huntington but also for the County and the school districts in the Town along with other taxing districts. As part of the budgeting process, public hearings are held for county, school, and town budgets. Some districts such as schools and libraries also hold annual votes to approve their budget.

Should you disagree with your assessment, you should reach out to the Town Assessor’s Office at 631-351-3226 or by email at AssessorInfo@HuntingtonNy.gov.

For more information on STAR or other exemptions, please contact the Assessor’s Office as indicated above. You may also contact New York State Department of Taxation and Finance regarding STAR by calling 518-457-2036.
