Quarterly tax payment deadline extended to Aug. 15

Warwick taxpayers now have an extra month to pay the first quarter of their no-tax increase property tax bills thanks to what Mayor Joseph J. Solomon described Tuesday as his “proactive” approach to dealing with the impact of the coronavirus.

The first quarter payment will be due Aug. 15.

“Many of our residents are struggling, and the total effects of the pandemic on Warwick’s economy have yet to be determined. Despite these very challenging circumstances, I am incredibly proud to have put forth a budget with no tax increases of any kind. By giving taxpayers an extended grace period, I hope that I can mitigate some of their financial burden,” Solomon said in a release issued Monday.

On Tuesday he said his he received many favorable calls to the delay.

“We received a lot of calls indicating that it was very helpful to their households especially households where both husband and wife are no longer employed or laid off a little bit of seeking employment. Right. It was a big help to them,” he said.

Asked when the tax bills would be mailed out, Solomon said if property owners are interested in the amount of their taxes or looking to pay them, that information is available online. No date for the mailing of the bills was given.

In his announcement Monday Solomon also disclosed that city would postpone issuance of motor vehicle tax bills until state legislators settle the state budget.

“Until the State determines how it will proceed with the phase-out of the motor vehicle tax, Warwick will not issue any motor vehicle tax bills,” Solomon said in his release. “I will not put any additional undue burdens on my constituents.”
