School tax bills will be mailed on August 30. Payment is due by September 30. Beginning on September 1, you may also view or print your own bill for payment. The website TaxLookup.net will also allow you to view your bill and when payment is applied.

Payment by Mail

Checks should be made out to the POLAND CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT.

Mail your check and your bill stub to:

Poland CSD
PO  Box 2532
Buffalo, NY  14240-2532

When paying by mail, please be sure:

1. The payment stub is enclosed.
2. Your check or money order is signed, dated and written for the correct amount.
3. Your tax map number (also called “section/block/lot number”) is written on your check or money order.

The date of payment will be determined by a United States Postal Service postmark.

Any tax payment in an envelope without a U.S. Postal Service postmark will be considered paid on the date it is received by the school district. 

A postage meter postmark does not determine the date of payment, nor does an envelope without a U.S. Postal Service postmark.

Paying by Credit Card

If you are a taxpayer wishing to pay by credit card, please call (315) 826-0205 or do so online at TaxLookup.net. A 2.75% fee does apply (a minimum of $3.00).

Paying in Person

A taxpayer wishing to pay in person should call for an appointment (315) 826-0205 unless using the drop box in our main office lobby and not seeking a receipt. A taxpayer may leave a payment in the drop box from 8:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. Our drop box is locked, but no cash payment should be made in the drop box. The box is painted orange.

Late Payments

Tax bills paid after October 1st will begin to accumulate interest and penalties.

A property owner who does not receive a school tax statement by mail is nevertheless subject to penalties on late payments as designated in Section 922 of New York State Real Property Tax Law.

Also, under no circumstances can a school tax collector or other officials waive late penalties set in law.
