Allentown Mayor Ray O’Connell has already extended the city's tax deadlines once. Now, thanks to a new state law, he'll be asking City Council to extend them again.
Previously, he real estate tax discount period from April 5 to May 5 and extended the filing due date for 2019 Business Privilege Tax until July 15, 2020. O'Connell plans to enlarge the tax discount period until August 31. Also, the payment can be made at any time until the end of the years without incurring any late fees.
“All of government is trying to do what it thinks is best during these most unusual times,” said O’Connell. “The stay-at-home order has severely impacted the ability to pay for many of our residents. We hope this extension will allow more time to get everybody back on their feet."
City Council has scheduled a special meeting for Monday, April 27 at 6:00 p.m. to vote to ratify the new real estate tax deadline and discount period extensions as well as the BPT filing extension.

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.
Yea but they are still stealing from the neglected water system sold as a cover up of this particular farce. Bills are over three hundred dollars for one person occupied homes with claims of water leaks with no evidence in the home? Than there is the simple fact that the home is only occupied 1/2 the time as the wuhun has forced people to live in entirely different counties to feel safe from the infected drinking water.
