Village Requests State's Help to Offer Tax Penalty Refunds Following an investigation that determined the United States Postal Service did not deliver certain 2023-24 real property tax bills to Scarsdale certain residents, leading to late penalties for some, the Village has filed a Home Rule Request with both the New York State Assembly and Senate. If granted, this will allow the Village to waive/refund the penalties for certain affected individuals, as the local government does not have the power to enact such legislation by local law. The Village will continue to update residents on this important matter |
