As a result of Governor Cuomo’s Executive Order 202.22, the Westchester County Executive has received permission to work with the Towns in the County to implement a plan to assist individual property owners and businesses with property tax relief in 2020. As the Village of Mamaroneck is located partially within the Town of Mamaroneck and partially within the Town of Rye, property owners and businesses should contact the tax office of their respective Town. 

• Town of Mamaroneck - Individual taxpayers, rental property taxpayers, and business entity taxpayers who are in the Town of Mamaroneck, should consult this webpage for the necessary forms, information and any contact information.

Absentee Ballot Applications to Arrive in the Mail

On Friday, April 24, Governor Andrew Cuomo issued Executive Order 202.23 requiring the New York State Board of Elections to automatically mail all registered voters in New York a postage-paid application for an absentee ballot for the June 23 primary election. (Earlier in the month, the Governor had issued an Executive Order allowing all New Yorkers to vote by absentee ballot in the primary.)

What voters will be mailed is an application for the absentee ballot, not the ballot itself.

The application will need to be filled out and returned in order for a ballot to be mailed to voters. Voters requesting the absentee ballot because they are affected by the COVID-19 pandemic or concern about contracting the virus should check the box for “Temporary illness.”

Voters may also download applications and return them to the Westchester County Board of Elections by mail, fax, e-mail or in person. Instructions can be found at:  https://citizenparticipation.westchestergov.com/voting/absentee-ballots
