SAUGUS — Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree will extend the due date for personal and real estate taxes to June 1.
Crabtree is using a local option to address challenges for local taxpayers resulting from the COVID-19 crisis. The new due date will apply even if the due date on previously mailed tax bills or property tax exemption applications is May 1.
In addition, all interest and other penalties for late payments of any excise, tax, or other charges added to a tax for any payments with a due date on or after March 10 will be waived if payment is made before June 30.
“These are tough times for all of us here in Saugus,” Crabtree said in a statement released April 13. “We need to continue to work as a community and stay healthy and safe.
“We will get through this together.”
Questions regarding payments should be directed to the Collector’s Office at (781) 231-4135. Questions regarding assessed values, abatements, or exemptions should be directed to the Assessor’s Office at (781) 231-4130.
