School District Extends Tax Deadline

The Council Rock School Board has extended the deadline for real estate, per capita and occupational assessment taxes because of complications caused by Hurricane Sandy.

The collection deadline has been extended from Oct. 31 to Nov. 7.

Board President Kyle McKessy said the decision to extend the deadline was due to the damages incurred and the disruption of business as a result of this week's storm, which closed school for four days and has left some still without power.

The elected tax collectors in each of the district's municipalities have been authorized by the board to accept payments at the base amount until Nov. 7.
