Saugerties village will waive late fees on tax payments

Taxpayers in the Village of Saugerties will not have to pay late fees if they file their taxes by December 1.

The first of two village tax payments is due no later than June 30, with late fees usually charged after that date.

In addition to the extension, mayor William Murphy suggested that “if we need to extend it out [past December 1], we can do that.” Murphy also suggested that the village could work with taxpayers to work out payment plans if necessary. The board voted unanimously to approve the waiver.
