Milford Delays Property Tax Deadline Due To Coronavirus

MILFORD, MA — Milford residents will get an additional month to pay property taxes, the Board of Selectmen decided on Monday. The reprieve comes as residents across the state are struggling financially due to the coronavirus crisis.

Property tax bills were set to be due on May 1, but that has now been pushed back to June 1. Cities and towns across the state are pushing back tax deadlines under an emergency relief law signed by Gov. Charlie Baker shortly after the outbreak began.

Milford Town Hall is closed due to coronavirus, but residents can make payments online on the town website.

So far during the outbreak, Milford has had 18 total coronavirus cases, according to the latest information from the Board of Health. As of Tuesday afternoon, more than 28,000 across the state had tested positive for the virus, and close to 1,000 had died.

Milford is also postponing the spring Town Meeting (a new date has not been set) and the spring election, which will now happen on June 16.
