“Taxes for this tax period will still be due on Friday, May 1,” Mayor Michael Venezia said. “As a result of the COVID-19 crisis we have made the decision to extend the grace period from 10 days to 30 days from May 1 for residents to submit their tax payments. We want this to be an easy and safe process for residents, which is why there are a variety of ways to submit payment. If you must pay in person, please remember to wear a mask in order to keep you and us safe.”
