I have delinquent property taxes, who do I pay them to?
If the taxes are for property in the City of Fulton you will pay them to the Fulton City Chamberlain.
If they are for property anywhere else in the County of Oswego you will pay them to the County Treasurer.
How can I find out how much I owe in back taxes?
Please contact the County Treasurer's office in order to obtain the most accurate amount due.
I received my bill and it's missing an exemption, who do I contact about this?
If you believe it's an exemption that you applied for on time and that you are entitled to, you would need to contact your local assessor to find out why it wasn't granted or if there was an error.
Please note however that only exemptions that affect that bill will appear on the bill, so exemptions that affect county/town taxes will not appear on the school tax bill and vice versa.
How do I sell or transfer my property to someone else?
A common misconception about transferring title to real property is that it's similar to transferring title to a car - it isn't. In New York State, real property can only be transferred via will or deed and the full process is more complex than most people realize. We highly recommend contacting a lawyer who can advise you on the different steps you would need to take, as no County agency or department is able to do so.
Do you have a copy of my survey?
If your survey was filed with the County, it would be filed with the County Clerk. However, unless you personally filed your survey or have knowledge that it was filed, it very likely wasn't. Many people assume that their surveyor or attorney filed the survey on their behalf, but unless it was part of a subdivision there is no legal requirement that they do so.
When is your tax auction?
Our annual auction is generally held in the summer, but the exact date can vary and is set by the Legislature. Please check our auction information page for more details through the year.
