What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Current law allows a municipality's governing body to enact an ordinance to allow for the payment of property taxes in three or more installments. However, such an ordinance must be enacted on or before August 15 of the previous year. This bill allows a municipality's governing body to enact such an ordinance during the period covered by the public health emergency declared by executive order 72 on March 12, 2020. The bill also allows the municipality to determine the dates on which the installments are due and to waive or reduce interest and penalties accrued on any late payment.
