Allentown and Northampton County have provided property tax relief to property owners as a result of the financial hardship that has followed Governor Tom Wolf's edicts that essentially prevent most of us from earning money.
In Northampton County, the 2% discount period for Northampton County 2020 Real Estate Taxes has been extended from March 31st to May 31st. Residents will be charged the base rate from June 1, to August 31, 2020. Beginning on September 1, 2020, a 10% penalty will be imposed.
The Northampton County courthouse is currently closed to the public, but payments may be sent in via mail or paid on-line.
In Allentown, the discount period for early payment of 2020 City Real Estate Taxes has been extended from April 5 until May 5, 2020. All 2020 City Real Estate Tax paid or postmarked on or before May 5, 2020, is eligible for a 2% discount.
Allentown is also extending the April 5 filing deadline for 2019 Business Privilege Tax until July 15, 2020. The city will not apply any interest or penalty to any 2019 Business Privilege Taxes paid or postmarked on or before July 15, 2020.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
I have deleted a completely irrelevant comment.
