Onondaga Delinquent Tax Payments Move After April 1

Onondaga County’s payment route changes during the year. Current-year town and county taxes are paid to the town tax receiver or collector from January 1 through March 31. After April 1, those unpaid taxes are sent to Onondaga County for collection. For delinquent county or town taxes on properties outside Syracuse, checks are made payable to the Chief Fiscal Officer and can be mailed to the county finance department or paid in person at the Civic Center.

Because the taxpayer guide lists rising monthly charges and a 12 percent annual rate on unpaid taxes, call county finance for the amount due before sending a check. Save the dated lookup with the notice, contract, map, or bill that started the question.
