County Extends Tax Window

Chautauqua County will extend the time period delinquent property owners will have to pay property taxes to avoid the county’s current real property tax foreclosure from April 15, to June 18. The county’s 2020 tax foreclosure proceeding was commenced as of Jan. 2, and provided that the last day to redeem a property or file an answer in the proceeding was April 15. The county will also extend the last day to file an answer in the tax foreclosure proceeding to June 18. The county’s extension is consistent with Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s March 20 executive order that there shall be no enforcement of a foreclosure for a period of ninety days until June 18. “Although these are taxes that have been owing for over two years, full and fair treatment of our citizens requires we recognize the current issues of economic uncertainty and the directive that we should be avoiding unnecessary in-person contact,” said Chautauqua County Executive PJ Wendel.
