On Tuesday, April 21, 2020, the board authorized the deferral of the first half of 2020 property tax payments, without penalty, up to July 15, 2020, for:
- Non-escrowed homesteads,
- Small businesses with taxes less than or equal to $50,000, and
- Residential non-homesteads (1 to 3 units) with taxes less than or equal to $20,000.
