Council extends June 2026 tax penalty date for certain local taxes (Ordinance 143)
Summary
On a 5–0 roll‑call vote, New Market approved Ordinance 143 to extend the June 2026 due date for certain real estate and personal property tax penalty assessments for 2026 only to accommodate late billing information.
The council approved Ordinance 143 on May 18 to extend the penalty date for certain real estate and personal property taxes in 2026 only. Town staff explained delayed county billing data pushed invoice timing later than normal, and the ordinance extends the penalty due date for affected taxpayers.
"This ordinance is to extend the penalty due date only," Mr. N. Garrison said while explaining the tax‑billing timing and the administrative reason for the limited, one‑year change. The motion carried on a 5–0 roll‑call vote. No amendments were attached to the ordinance during the council meeting.
