Village paying customers can still ensure a same-day postmark by requesting a free manual postmark at a USPS retail counter.
Alternatively, Village Residents & Businesses can pay their Taxes, Sewer Invoices, Building Permits and more online OR in-person on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 9AM-4PM and Wednesday from 9AM-3PM. Pathfinder Bank at 3025 East Ave also accepts payments for village taxes and sewer rents.
