Property Tax Interest Deferral

At a glance

• What: A proposal to push back the start of interest on the September 24, 2026 property tax installment from the day after the due date to December 1, 2026.
• Where it stands: Failed for lack of a motion on August 20, 2026.
• Next: Nothing pending; the September 24 due date and normal interest stand.

The order (26-136)

Would have amended the fiscal 2027 property tax commitment adopted by Order 26-076 on May 21, 2026, so that interest on any unpaid amount of the September 24, 2026 installment would begin December 1, 2026. Sponsored by the Mayor and Council. No councilor moved it, so it died without debate or vote.
