Because Dutchess County receives 12.7 percent of each transaction, residents help keep local taxes down. Several years ago, the state took over renewals, costing the county more than $150,000 in lost revenue per year. Residents can help the county recapture that money by paying local.

Mail your payment to Bradford Kendall, Dutchess County Clerk, 22 Market St., Poughkeepsie, NY 12601
