Chemung County draws a clear payment line. Its property-tax inquiry page says delinquent tax payments cannot be made online and must go directly to the County Treasurer’s Office. Payment by check, money order, cash, or credit card, with mail and in-person routes in Elmira. It also posts a Treasurer phone number for questions.
For owners catching up, the installment-agreement page says a delinquent taxpayer may sign an agreement with the Treasurer for monthly payments up to 24 months. New taxes during the agreement must stay current.
Look at the tax inquiry, then confirm with the Treasurer before paying.
