Wayne County, NY follows the New York statutory schedule. This page shows that schedule, the county's own website, and the late penalty — the county can still set its own dates, so confirm before you pay.

Statewide schedule — read this before you rely on it
Very high: New York City runs its own July 1 to June 30 fiscal year with quarterly bills due July 1, October 1, January 1 and April 1 and a 15-day grace period, while Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester and several cities use different installment dates or their own local laws. Variation between counties here is high — treat the dates above as a starting point only.
Interest of 1% a month, and never less than 12% a year under RPTL 924-a, is added for each month or part of a month after the interest-free period until the tax is paid or returned to the county treasurer.
Counties deliver the tax roll and warrant after equalization and levy adoption in late fall, so most upstate bills are payable January 1 for that calendar year.
