Tax rates change annually — verify current figures with the
Town of Orangetown
or Village Clerk.
Your Four Tax Bills
Because Piermont is an incorporated village inside the Town of Orangetown, you pay taxes to four separate taxing authorities. Each levies its own rate and sends (or is collected alongside) a separate bill.
Rockland County
Billed January
County general fund, county highway, and special districts.
Collected by: Town of Orangetown Tax Receiver
Town of Orangetown
Billed January
Town-wide services and town-outside-village purposes (highway, etc.). Village residents pay a reduced town rate since the village provides some services directly.

Village of Piermont
Billed June

Collected by: Village of Piermont Clerk's Office

Assessment note: Piermont properties are assessed at 100% of full market value. Town of Orangetown's equalization rate for unincorporated areas is approximately 32%, so the nominal per-thousand rates on your county/town bill are calibrated accordingly.
