DLGF Supplemental Memo on Executive Order #20-005 – Cash Flow Solutions -March 30, 2020
This memorandum supplements the Department of Local Government Finance’s (“Department”) memorandum issued on March 20, 2020, on the waiver of penalties for delinquent property tax payments. As discussed in that memorandum, Executive Order #20-005 waives penalties on property taxes paid during the sixty (60) day period after May 11, 2020. Hence, taxpayers are given a sixty (60) day reprieve from paying property taxes without penalty, which may result in cash flow issues for local units. The memorandum also briefly mentioned some options units can explore to address those issues.
The Department provides this memorandum to describe the options for local units to evaluate and determine if there are any cash flow problems from tax payments that do not come until after the June settlement. The local unit is advised to consult with a financial advisor or local counsel as to the viability of pursuing any of these options.
