New federal postmark rules (effective 12/24/25) formally confirm that mailbox deposits may not receive same-day postmarks, particularly for locations more than 50 miles from USPS regional hubs. The postmark date reflects when the mail is processed, not when it is dropped off, meaning that taxpayers using rural mailboxes could see 1-2 day delays before their payment is postmarked. Only hand-cancellation guarantees same-day postmarks. Taxpayers who need to ensure their payment bears a specific date must bring it to a USPS retail counter and request hand-cancellation. This has always been the only guaranteed method, but many taxpayers remain unaware of this requirement.

IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS regarding STAR, Senior and Veteran exemptions, or property assessment please contact the Sole Assessor, Janice Hull @ 518-622-3120 X252 or email her at assessor@townofcairony.gov
