Central School districts in Ontario County do not allow installment payments. The full amount of the tax bill can be paid in September without interest. Interest charges vary between school districts if paid after September, so be sure to read the bill carefully. Shortly after November 1st, the central schools can no longer collect taxes, (dates vary per school, read the bill carefully) and unpaid taxes are turned over to the County Treasurer. Taxes may be paid at the Treasurer's office for a short time in November, after that time period, unpaid school taxes are relevied onto the County/Town tax bills.
