About the Town

*Stockholm  was formed on February 21, 1806  from the Town of Massena and officially established.
Geographically, the Town of Stockhom is an interior town in the northeastern part of the county. The town is bordered on the north by the Town of Norfolk, on the east by the Towns of Brasher and Lawrence, on the south by the Towns of Hopkinton & Parishville and on the west by the Town of Potsdam.
*excerpt from the Town History book with information compiled by the members of the historical organization and volunteers.

Stockholm is a quiet but unique family & farming community surrounded by rivers, lakes, ponds and mountains.
Beyond the many year round outdoor recreational opportunities you’ll find numerous amenities which are rare for such a rural location making it an especially attractive place to live and work!
​

• High speed Internet
• Four Universities
• Good Schools
• Extraordinary cultural and entertainment opportunities
• Good Health Care Facilities
• Low Taxes

​Stockholm is not the town for everyone—we’re way too small for that—but it’s a great place for people who want to live a simpler life, raise a family and still having many of the benefits of an urban area.

If you are considering a move to the area, please read Why Stockholm, for more information!

These bills come out from the County Treasurers Office.

​The big USPS postmark rule change in late 2025, effective Dec 24, 2025, means mail is postmarked when first sorted at regional hubs, not when dropped off, impacting NYS deadlines for taxes, ballots, and bills; you must now mail critical items days early or get a hand-stamped postmark in-person at a post office counter for proof, as blue box drops might show a later date due to processing delays. 
What Changed?

• Old Rule: Postmark generally reflected the date you handed it to the USPS (mailbox or counter).
• New Rule (Dec 24, 2025): The postmark date is when mail first hits an automated sorting machine at a processing center, which can be hours or days later. 

Who's Affected in NYS?

• Tax Filers: Dropping off returns on April 15th could result in an April 16th or later postmark, risking IRS penalties.
• Voters: Mail-in ballots dropped on Election Day might be postmarked later, invalidating the vote.
• Renters & Bill Payers: Rent or bill payments due on the last day of the month could be marked late, incurring fees. 

How to Protect Yourself (Solutions):

• Mail Early: Send time-sensitive items several days before the actual deadline.
• Get a Manual Postmark: Go inside the Post Office on the deadline day and ask for a free, hand-applied local postmark.
• Use Certified/Registered Mail: These services provide receipts and proof of mailing.
• Certificate of Mailing: Get one at the counter for proof of submission (doesn't offer tracking). 

Why the Change?

• ​Part of the USPS "Delivering For America" plan to modernize and consolidate operations, reducing transportation trips to processing centers​​
