Instructions for Paying School Taxes

2024-25 Tax Collection Update

The Stillwater Central School District will not be offering an in-person tax payment option at the district or at Ballston Spa National Bank for the 2024-25 school tax collection. Payments will only be accepted through the mail (postmark determines the date). All residents will receive an envelope to mail payments to:

Tax Collector
Stillwater CSD

Albany, NY 12212

You can also pay by credit card or echeck online here. *Please note, there are fees associated with using this service and are paid by the taxpayer directly to the vendor.

Please keep in mind that tax bills should arrive to your home in early September. Thank you for your attention, understanding and cooperation.

If you have any questions, please contact the district’s School Tax Collector, Louann Tetrault, at ltetrault@scsd.org, (518) 373-6176.
