Q: Do I need to save my receipts?

A: Yes. Taxpayers are advised to save their receipts for 15 years, the length of time during which municipal taxes are collectible. Everyone paying at the Tax Office window must be issued a receipt. Payments may not be dropped off.

Taxpayers should retain their own payment information for purposes of claiming tax credits and filling out their federal and state income tax forms. Requests for information about payments made in prior fiscal years must be in writing, and there is a fee for duplicate receipts .

If you need the Tax Collector's office to research your property tax payment history for you, you will be charged a fee up front. Research will NOT be done while you wait. Please note that there is a public access computer terminal outside the Tax Collector's and Assessor's offices if you wish to research your own payment history.
