COVID Impacts Taxpayers Ability to Pay Property Taxes
“I understand and sympathize with the financial impacts that COVID-19 may have had on our taxpayers,” states Treasurer Freidenrich.
“I also understand that the upcoming property tax payment may be one of the largest single expenditures that taxpayers make each year.”
Property taxes fund critical local government services, including those services needed during this emergency, and we encourage taxpayers to pay by April 10 2020 if they can.

After April 10 2020 if the taxpayer is a homeowner, small business or other property owner with significant demonstrated economic hardship due to COVID-19 or believe that they qualify for one of the other limited exceptions and can’t pay by April 10 2020, then as soon as the taxpayer is able to pay, they should request a Penalty Cancellation.
