New Rochelle Homeowners: The June Tax Deadline You Don’t Want to Miss

The June Tax Deadline: What New Rochelle Homeowners Need to Know

If you own real estate in the City of New Rochelle, June is an important month to keep on your radar.

While many Westchester County homeowners are used to paying the county portion of their property taxes in April, New Rochelle follows its own municipal tax collection schedule. In New Rochelle, Westchester County property taxes open for collection on June 1 and are due on or before June 30.

Why New Rochelle’s June Deadline Matters

Unlike many towns in Westchester that bundle county taxes with town taxes earlier in the year, New Rochelle separates its local tax calendar into distinct billing cycles. That makes June a key month for homeowners, investors, and sellers who are watching their carrying costs.

The City of New Rochelle Tax Office strictly follows New York State Real Property Tax Law when it comes to payment timing. If you mail your payment, it must be received or carry an official United States Postal Service postmark dated on or before the due date. Postmarks from home or office postage machines are not sufficient.

That detail matters. If a payment arrives late without a proper USPS postmark, interest and penalties may apply.

The Full New Rochelle Property Tax Calendar

• January: City Property Taxes are due.
• June: Westchester County Property Taxes are due.
• September: First half of School and Library Taxes are due.
• March: Second half of School and Library Taxes are due.

New Rochelle also moved the School and Library tax collection months up from October and April to September and March beginning with the 2025–2026 school year. This change was designed to improve the timing of local tax collections and help the school district receive funds earlier in the fiscal cycle.

Why This Matters When Buying or Selling

Property taxes are not just a line item on a bill. They are part of the true cost of owning a home in New Rochelle.

For sellers, tax timing can affect closing adjustments, buyer questions, and how a property is positioned in the market. For buyers, understanding the tax calendar helps avoid surprises after closing. For homeowners, knowing when each bill is due helps protect against unnecessary penalties and gives a clearer picture of annual carrying costs.

In a market like New Rochelle, where assessments, tax calendars, and local costs all affect value, being informed is part of being prepared.
