SECTION 925-A
Extension of time for collection
Real Property Tax (RPT) CHAPTER 50-A, ARTICLE 9, TITLE 3
§ 925-a. Extension of time for collection. 1. Notwithstanding any
contrary provision of this chapter, or of any general, special or local
law, code or charter, if the final date for collection of taxes, or for
the collection of taxes without penalty, or for the collection of taxes
at a lesser prescribed penalty interest rate shall fall on a Saturday,
Sunday or public holiday, an extension for the collection of taxes shall
automatically be in effect until the first business day following such
date and the date for paying over taxes shall be extended to the
following day.

2. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, during a
state disaster emergency as defined by section twenty of the executive
law, the governor may, by executive order issued upon the request of the
chief executive officer of a county, city, town, village or school
district in the affected area, extend by up to twenty-one days the final
date for paying taxes without interest or penalty in such county, city,
town, village or school district. If such an extension is granted, and
any taxes are not paid by the final date so provided, those taxes shall
be subject to the same interest and penalties that would have applied if
no extension had been granted.
