Washington town tax payments can move after the local window

The Town of Washington tax collector takes town and county property-tax payments during the local collection window. The posted schedule says the collector stops accepting them on June 1. After that, delinquent bills move to the Dutchess County Office of Real Property.

For 2026 bills, a town notice dated July 21, 2026 directs unpaid property taxes to the county office. For another bill year, check the current collector schedule before sending money. The office holding the bill can change, and the balance may include interest or fees.

Keep the town notice, parcel number, bill year, quoted payoff, county directions, payment confirmation, and receipt together.
