Q: Will I still receive charges on my tax bill?
A: No, current sewer charges will no longer be included on your property tax bill. You will receive a CWMD bill for all sewer charges.
Q: How do I find out if I am connected to the sewers?
A: If you have received a bill and/or letter and are unsure of your connection status, please email sewerconnectionstatus@suffolkcountyny.gov. A representative will contact you.
Q: What happens if I do not pay my bill?
A: Sewer charges become liens against the property to which services have been provided pursuant to Section 266 of the County Law of New York State. Any amounts billed prior to August 1st and left unpaid as of October 1st will appear on the Town’s December 1st real property tax bill as sewer arrears.
Q: I am selling or purchasing a property. What do I need to do?
A: We are not automatically notified of changes in ownership. Please contact us when you have a closing date so that we can provide you with the current balance on the account and to change any contact information.
Please note that sewer charges and credits transfer with the property. Normally, any outstanding balance is addressed at closing with the advice of your attorney and title company. Our office does not prorate bills.
