The Treasurer is appointed by the Village Board of Trustees and is charged with the responsibility of managing all details related to the Village's fiscal operations. The Treasurer's Office manages the following financial areas: Accounts Receivable and Payable, Cash Receipts and Disbursements, investment of Village funds and annual reporting to the State Comptroller. In addition to periodic audits by The State Comptroller's office, the Village's financial records are audited annually by an independent certified public accounting firm. Copies of the annual audit and the annual report to the State Comptroller are available at the Village Clerk's office.
In addition, the Treasurer also functions as the Receiver of Taxes for the Village. Village taxes are billed annually on or about March 1 and are due by April 1, 2013 without penalty. Taxes must be received in the Treasurer’s office by 2 PM on April 1, 2013 or be mailed with a US Postal Service cancellation stamp no later than April 1, 2013 in order to avoid penalties, which are as follows::
Penalty Schedule:
According to New York State Law, it is the taxpayer's responsibility to pay taxes when they are due. If you do not receive a tax bill by the 5th of March, please call our office for a duplicate tax bill. Failure to receive a tax bill does not relieve the property owner of their responsibility to pay taxes in a timely manner. If taxes become delinquent, we cannot accept payment without the penalty.
Application for property tax exemptions (Veterans, Senior Citizens, STAR, etc.) should be made to the Town of Smithtown Assessor's Office. The Village does not process assessment valuations and exemptions.
Please call the Treasurer's Office at (631) 631-584-5596 for any additional information.
