LEWISTON — The city is delaying interest on the second half of fiscal year 2020 real estate taxes until June 1, because of the COVID-19 crisis.
“We understand this is the most difficult time of the year from a cash flow perspective for many of our businesses and want to be as supportive as possible for small businesses in the city, as well as helpful to individual property owners who may be experiencing economic difficulty or uncertainty during this time,” said Pamela LaBelle, Lewiston’s treasury manager/tax Collector.
Although the city will not charge interest on overdue second half tax payments for FY20, it must comply with the regular lien schedule mandated by State Statute Title 36 M.R.S.A. § 942 & 943. The lien notices are scheduled to be mailed May 6, with a lien date of June 12. This is necessary for the city to secure the future collection of amounts owed.
