Clinton Delinquent Taxes Need Treasurer and Real Property Checks

For unpaid property taxes in Clinton County, use Real Property for parcel records and the Treasurer for payment status. The Treasurer route covers delinquent real-property taxes outside the City of Plattsburgh. It collects delinquent county, town, village, and school taxes for listed towns, villages, and school districts, but excludes the city.

Taxpayers may enter a delinquent installment payment program for up to 24 months with a 25% deposit. The Treasurer is also the enforcing officer under the in rem foreclosure process.

Start with the Real Property parcel tools. If the parcel is outside Plattsburgh and the tax is delinquent, ask the Treasurer for the amount, installment option, and any foreclosure date. If the parcel is in the City of Plattsburgh, keep it out of the county collection route.

Save the parcel lookup, bill year, municipality or school district, delinquent amount, 25% deposit question, payment-plan terms, office answer, and date checked. Because foreclosure is possible, keep every notice and payment receipt with that file and act on the Treasurer’s stated deadline.
