Starting in May, Warren County property owners will be able to enter into a monthly installment agreement in an effort to help property owners meet their delinquent tax obligations, thanks to a recent update to county law.
On January 16th, 2026, the Warren County Board of Supervisors passed Local Law 3 of 2026, which amends eligibility for property owners to enter into an installment agreement for delinquent taxes
This amendment supersedes the former quarterly installment agreement criteria, and provides a means for qualified property owners, with delinquent taxes, to enroll in a monthly installment agreement if the following eligibility requirements are met.
Property owners:
Must be a titled owner of the property
Must NOT be currently enrolled in a Warren County Installment Agreement
Must include all titled Warren County properties with delinquent taxes in the Monthly Installment Agreement
Must be able to pay a required down payment AND attest to making monthly payments in a timely manner
Must NOT have had a property foreclosed upon in Warren County within the past 3 years
Must NOT have defaulted on a Warren County Installment Agreement within the past 3 years
**Please note that taxpayers who currently have an active quarterly installment agreements will not be affected by this change.**
There is no minimum amount of delinquent property taxes owed to enter into a monthly installment agreement, and it is hoped that allowing smaller, monthly payments will help property owners remedy their delinquent property taxes.
Said Warren County Treasurer Christine Norton: “This new local law expands the number of property owners who are potentially eligible to enter into an installment agreement. This change will hopefully assist taxpayers to catch up on their past due property taxes owed.”
Eligible owners may be able to enroll into a monthly Warren County Property Tax Installment Agreement 30 days after the Warren County Treasurer’s Office receives notice of your delinquent taxes from your Local Town Tax Collectors.
These new Property Tax Installment Agreements will take effect any time after May 15, 2026.
Those who have questions, or would like to discuss the enrollment process, can call the Warren County Treasurer’s Installment Agreement phone line at (518) 761-6375, ext. 1 after May 1st, 2026.
