The School Tax Collection for 2025-2026 at HPCSD is now CLOSED.

School taxes on real property for 2026-2027 begins on September 14th and are DUE on October 13, 2026.

Taxes will continue to be collected from October 14th to October 30, 2026 with a 2% penalty fee added. The 2026-2027 tax collection period ends on October 30, 2026. The Hyde Park Central School District will not accept school tax payments made after October 30, 2026. At the conclusion of the tax collection, unpaid school taxes will be turned over to the Dutchess County Commissioner of Finance.  

Please contact the Dutchess County Finance Department at 845-486-2026 to pay any prior year's taxes. For a limited amount of time after October 30, 2026, you can pay any unpaid 2026-2027 school taxes to the D.C.

FYI: Only taxes paid during the school tax collection period are recorded on the online tax portals.
