and their identifying account numbers.

of the bank to call for that bill. If the bill should have gone to the homeowner, but went to the bank, it is
the homeowner's responsibility to know that the taxes are due. Please call or email the tax office
immediately and a duplicate bill will be issued to you.

interest prescribed by law. (New York real Property Tax Law 922). If you should have received a bill,
