City council in London, Ont., voted Tuesday to defer the due date for the final property tax instalments of 2020 by 60 days as part of its efforts to provide some economic relief amid the novel coronavirus pandemic.
The move comes nearly a month after council moved to waive interest and penalties for unpaid property tax instalments as well as water and wastewater bills for 60 days.
According to the city, residential property tax bills are divided into an interim bill mailed out at the end of January with instalments traditionally due at the end of February and March.
A final tax bill is then mailed out at the end of May with instalments due at the end of June, August and October. [ Sign up for our Health IQ newsletter for the latest
