The mission of the Tax Receiver's Department is to collect all taxes and other debts owed to the Town of Milton, and to properly account for them in a timely manner. In addition, the Tax Receiver's Department applies all state and local statutes equally, without favoritism or prejudice to its citizens. This high level of integrity instills confidence in the citizens we serve and encourages voluntary compliance.

Receiving your Tax Bills
Taxpayers will receive their tax bills the first week in January. If your tax bill is not received, you may contact the tax office at 518-884-2765 and a new bill will be forwarded. You may also go online to http://egov.basny.com/milton/ to print a copy of your tax bill and obtain payment information.
Tax payers are responsible to pay their taxes, even if the tax bill has not been received. Failure to receive a tax bill does not relieve the taxpayer of the responsibility to pay the taxes and all fees due at the time of payment.

  • Postmarks:  New York State Real Property Tax Laws govern tax collection. The United States Post Office Postmark date determines weather a payment is on time. Any payment postmarked on or before the due date will considered timely.  It is strongly suggested, if payment is mailed on the due date, to walk into the Post Office and have the date hand stamped by a Postal Employee. **Please note: of paying via your online banking, please schedule the payment 10 days prior to the due date, as these envelopes arrive without a postmark and will be subject to penalty.**
Please be advised that tax payments can be made using the following methods:
  1. Mail the payment to 503 Geyser Road, Ballston Spa, NY 12020. Please be sure to include your telephone number on all checks. Please make checks payable to "Receiver of Taxes:.
