So what does Spring Cleaning entail?

Set up your annual spring lawn maintenance, check sprinklers, cut back overgrown vegetation
Power wash your siding or exterior, makes a huge difference. An if your husband likes to rent things that make him feel powerful this is an easy task! May does this every year and wow does her house sparkle
Good time to service your AC and change the filters
Check the Exterior caulking: especially around Window sills, door sills, and thresholds. I already found some leaking near a window so that is top of my list this year!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PREPAYMENT OF CITY TAXES

Rye, NY, December 15, 2017– The City of Rye will be accepting prepayment of City Taxes.
Marcus Serrano, City Manager of the City of Rye announced today that the City has
been receiving a number of requests for prepayment of City taxes. Mr. Serrano
stated even though the City is not obligated to collect the prepayment of City taxes,
the City is always trying to serve its taxpayers and he is pleased to be able to
accommodate these requests from the residents. Mr. Serrano has been working with
the Finance Department, IT Department and the software vendors to implement the
necessary changes to allow for the prepayment of taxes. Mr. Serrano stated that the
requests are based on the proposed tax law changes. Mr. Serrano wanted to make it
very clear that even though the City taxes may be prepaid, the question of deductibility is a question that must be answered by a tax preparer. Therefore Mr. Serrano stated that “the City of Rye makes no claim, nor bears any responsibility for the deductibility of the pre-payment of property taxes. You should consult your tax professional for further information”. Mr. Serrano also stated that the City can only collect the prepayment of City taxes and not School or County taxes. Mr. Serrano stated that this process is dependent on the City Council adopting the budget before December 31st. If the City Council adopts the budget on December 20th the City’s website will be updated to allow for the prepayment of taxes starting on December 22nd.

Individuals should go to the City website if they wish to prepay. The City’s website will have a link that will take you to a site that will provide you with instructions on how to prepay and the amount of the City tax.

The City’s website is http://www.ryeny.gov/.

If you would like more information about this topic, please send an email to prepaytax@ryeny.gov.
