Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed legislation Monday authorizing local governments in New York to extend the deadline for filing property tax abatements to July 15, 2020.
In a news release, his office says it is "in recognition of the hardships many families and businesses continue to face as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic."
"New Yorkers and businesses all across the state have suffered both personal and economic hardships from the COVID-19 pandemic," Cuomo said in a statement. "Extending the deadline for filing property tax abatements to July 15th will help provide these individuals and businesses with some much-needed assistance to help recover from the devastating effects of the pandemic as we begin to enter a new normal."
