Bethlehem Joins Allentown and NorCo in Extending Property Tax Deadline

Joining Allentown and Northampton County, Bethlehem has announced it will extend tax deadlines.

The deadline for paying Earned Income Tax and Business Privilege Tax has been extended to July 15, 2020 because of the hardship caused to many residents by the COVID-19 pandemic.

2020 City of Bethlehem’s Real Estate taxes paid or postmarked before May 11, 2020 will be eligible for the 2% discount. In addition, the due date for full payment of the City Real Estate Tax will be extended from May 29, 2020 to August 10, 2020.

Last week, City Council approved Mayor Donchez’s request for an emergency disaster declaration that authorizes taking emergency management measures, to reduce the severity of the pandemic and to protect the health, safety and welfare of affected residents.

  1. The tax is still due, mind you, even though the government that's sitting home being paid says you can't work to earn the money to pay it. It's a circle jerk.

  2. Someone needs to notify specifically those ratbastards at Portnoff ass. They'll squeeze the the last silver coin out of your dead grandmother's cold hand...

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.
