The Freeport Union Free School District is pleased to announce that Governor Cuomo has just signed an executive order to extend the due date for the receipt of school taxes by 21 days for residents in participating districts. As a result, the Freeport School District is pleased to be able to participate and offer this extension for its residents who have been trying to recover from the devastating impact of both Hurricane Sandy and the Nor'easter. The legislation is pursuant to Section 925-a of the New York State Real Property Tax Law.
The new deadline for the receipt of school taxes for the Freeport School District will be Tuesday, Dec. 4. Payments are due to the receiver of taxes by 5pm on the deadline date. If you have any questions regarding this extension, please contact the office of Freeport School District's Executive Director for Business Mr. James Robinson at

"At this time, when our families are attempting to recover and restore their homes, it is our hope that our participation in this tax payment extension will provide our families with some temporary relief," stated Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kishore Kuncham. "I would like to also thank and acknowledge our Board of Education for approving the district's participation in this effort to assist our taxpayers."
