Discretionary Property Tax Grace Period Extension During Prolonged Fed - 09/25/2023In light of a possible federal government shutdown, the Division of Local Government Services (Division) reminds municipalities they have the discretion to offer an extended property tax grace period to eligible federal employees and federal contractors under certain circumstances. During an extended federal government shutdown, P.L. 2019, c. 491 authorizes municipalities to adopt an extended property tax grace period applicable to a property taxpayer, or the taxpayer's spouse/civil union partner/domestic partner, who is either: - An employee of a federal government agency who is furloughed because of a shutdown, and 1) receives unemployment benefits during the shutdown, or 2) who works during a shutdown but is not paid because of the shutdown; or - A contractor whose pay is received through a contract with a federal government agency but whose payment is delayed or diminished because of a shutdown, provided that the contractor receives unemployment benefits during the shutdown. A municipality may adopt a resolution extending the grace period for the above-referenced qualifying individuals to on or before the date upon which the next property tax installment payment is payable. For example, for the November 1 property tax installment, the grace period would extend to February 1. However, a municipality can only apply the extended grace period if the federal shutdown is greater than 21 days in duration and the shutdown either 1) remains in effect as of the property tax installment due date; or 2) concludes less than 14 days prior to the property tax installment due date. This provision only applies to property taxes and not to local assessments or other municipal charges. Once the governing body adopts a resolution allowing qualifying taxpayers to receive an extended grace period due to a federal shutdown, the municipal clerk shall forward the resolution to the Division at dlgs@dca.nj.gov (with the subject heading "Property Tax Grace Period - Federal Shutdown") no later than the third business day next following adoption. If the municipality is under State Supervision or is receiving Transitional Aid, the Division Director must approve the resolution before it can become effective. Please review pp. 8-9 of Local Finance Notice 2020-25 for further details (https://www.nj.gov/dca/divisions/dlgs/lfns/20/2020-25.pdf).
