Partial Payments
How to Make Partial Payments Towards Delinquent Real Property Taxes for Parcels Outside the City of Syracuse
Minimum Payment $200
Each payment toward delinquent taxes must be $200 or greater. There is no limit to the number of payments accepted. Interest accrues the first of each month on any outstanding balance for all property taxes.
Fees Paid First
Fees charged outside of taxed amounts are not subject to partial payments and must be PAID IN FULL before partial payments will be accepted on delinquent taxes (e.g. Administrative Processing Fee, Returned Check Fee).
Onondaga Payment Agreement
Partial payments alone do not prevent delinquent tax and enforcement processes (e.g. Billing, Advertising, Auction). Eligible property owners may enter a formal repayment agreement with the County to prevent auction processing.
