On Thursday, January 30th Mount Vernon Comptroller Dr. Darren M. Morton released a list of those delinquent on their Property Taxes in the City of Mount Vernon. Over the past months, we have heard rumors and accusations of the City of Mount Vernon owing the Mount Vernon City School District over 20 Million in collected taxes when the truth is what is owed is uncollected taxes the district was unsuccessful in collecting. (see list below). You can find the full report of delinquent taxes as of December 18, 2024, on the city’s website.

The Comptroller’s office share a brief statement with the release of the list;
We would like to address an error in the effective date printed on the Notice of List of Delinquent Taxes, which incorrectly stated December 31, 2024. The correct effective date is December 18, 2024, as reflected in the three specific listing documents.
We sincerely apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this may have caused. Unfortunately, under the Real Property Tax Law, we are unable to remove any property that was delinquent as of December 18, 2024. However, if you paid your arrears after this date, your property will not be subject to foreclosure proceedings, though it must remain on these listings.
Thank you for your understanding.
