Village residents pay taxes both to the Village and the Town of East Hampton. Town taxes are paid separately.  Village properties are assessed by the Town of East Hampton Assessor's Office in Town Hall.

The assessed value of a residential property in the village averages approximately 2% to 4% of the market value of that property.

Due Date / Payments

Village taxes are due during the month of August (the village's fiscal year is August 1st to July 31st). Payment must be received in Village Hall, or U.S. postmarked, no later than August 31st to avoid penalty.

Tax bills are mailed by the village on August first. However, taxes are due even if you do not receive a tax bill. It is your responsibility to pay your taxes on time. Notify the Village if you have a change of address.

Advanced or Late Payments

Advance payment of taxes is not accepted. Penalties for late payments are required by law. The late penalty is 5% of taxes due. The penalty is 5% of amount due for the month of September, and an additional 1% per month for every month thereafter. The village holds a public sale during the month of May on properties with unpaid taxes.

Payment Methods

Payment of taxes can be made by cash, check, or money order. Credit cards are not accepted. Make checks payable to Receiver of Taxes.
