Written by Michael Palomba<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

County Supervisors Kristin Gaspar and Jim Desmond, along with Treasurer-Tax Collector Dan McAllister have been fighting to allow an extension for property tax payments.<\/span><\/p>\n

The problem is that local officials don\u2019t have the power to do this. An executive order to amend the California Revenue and Tax Code or action by the State Legislature is needed in order to achieve this relief.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Supervisor Gaspar tweeted out a copy of a letter she, Desmond, and McAllister recently sent to Governor Gavin Newsom. In it they cite the \u201cextraordinary circumstances and emergency created by the COVID-19 pandemic\u201d and request \u201can executive order to allow for a 60-day extension of the deadline for property tax payments\u2026or to provide a 60-day grace period.\u201d The 60-day grace period would allow the Treasurer-Tax Collector to cancel penalties and costs resulting from coronavirus-related transactions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not giving up! Just sent this letter to Gov Newsom requesting an exec order allowing a 60-day deadline extension for property tax payments or 60-day grace period canceling late fees\/other charges. Thank you @jim_desmond<\/a> County Tax Collector Dan McAllister for your help with this. pic.twitter.com\/jHugayeKEJ<\/a><\/p>\n
