The Village of Fort Plain bills for water/sewer on a quarterly basis. Bills are mailed out in early January, April, July and October and must be paid within 30 days to avoid interest/penalties. Please see your current bill or contact the clerk's office for more information on due dates and interest.

Tax bills must be paid or postmarked the last day of June of the year they are due in order to be paid without penalty. Interest applies until the last date possible to pay the village collector directly. This date will be noted at the bottom of the tax bill. After that date, the unpaid bills are reported to the county to be added on to the following year's bill. To pay a bill after the deadline, contact the Montgomery County Treasurer's office.
