Hardship Conditions Will Enable Some Residents to Pay Taxes Late Without Penalty
The Governor signed an executive order allowing late payments without penalties till July 15 under certain circumstances (hardships, escrow account payments still must be paid, people have to qualify for STAR)
To have the fee waived, the resident or business must certify economic hardship caused by COVID-19. The threshold for the certification requires in part that a resident must have qualified for the STAR exemption, is not paying property taxes through an escrow account and can assert that they have suffered loss of substantial employment income as a result of COVID-19.
***Forms will be posted on town website.***
Reduced Penalties for All Residents
Town Board of the Town of Greenburgh hereby authorizes the Town Tax Receiver to accept payment of county and county district taxes, and town and town district taxes with late penalty fees reduced to .5% through May 30, 2020 and 1% through July 15, 2020 for those tax payers who do not meet criteria established by the Westchester County Executive for determining hardship due to the Covid-19 Pandemic.
