Welcome to the Hyde Park Central School District's

Online Tax Payment and History System
for the Towns of Clinton, Pleasant Valley and Rhinebeck ONLY!

Please note that the Towns of Hyde Park and Poughkeepsie collect the Hyde Park Central School taxes for the properties within their town and you need to go to their websites for school tax information. Online payments for those properties cannot be made here.

School Tax Collection begins this year for ALL properties within the Hyde Park Central School District on September 16, 2024. Taxes are due by October 15, 2024 and may be paid on or before said date without charge or interest. On all such remaining unpaid taxes after said date through to November 1, 2024, two percent (2%) interest will be added. The Hyde Park Central School District will not accept school tax payments made after November 1, 2024.

At the conclusion of the tax collection, unpaid school taxes will be turned over to the Dutchess County Commissioner of Finance with interest and penalties added. Payments made to the County or to the Town, if relevied, will NOT be posted on this website.

School Tax Online Payment Directions
As a convenience to our taxpayers in Clinton, Pleasant Valley and Rhinebeck, the Hyde Park Central School District offers the option of paying school taxes online. Using this option is fast, easy and safe. In addition, once a payment clears, it is considered paid on the date it was submitted.

If making online payments for multiple parcels, each parcel must be paid individually.

STEP 1	Locate Tax Parcel Information
You can search for your tax information by using your Bill #, Tax Map # (Section, Block, Lot ONLY), property address OR last name/business name. ONLY enter information in one box! Tips: Do not include your SWIS code if entering the Tax Map #. Do not enter the street suffix, like Road, Street, etc. to the Property Address field. Remember to use the Owner's last name, unless entering a business name, in the Owner Name field. Entering less information is often better.
STEP 2	Review your Tax information
Select your property if multiple choices are listed. Review your tax information. To proceed with the payment process, select the Make Payment button.
STEP 3	Complete the Contact and Pay Details
Enter the contact information for the person paying the tax, as well as payment information and any additional information needed. Remember fees apply.
STEP 4	Payment Confirmation
Once your payment has been submitted, you will receive your transaction number and digital receipt. An email with the same information will also be sent to the email address that you provide. Check with your financial institution that funds have been withdrawn to confirm payment. If funds have not been withdrawn, contact Donna Kuklis to check on the status of the payment. (If you are locked out of the tax bill site without making a payment, take note that the system will clear and then allow you access again in a few minutes - typically 5-10 minutes, but can be up to an hour.)
