Pittsburgh is extending its deadline for personal income tax until July 15 and is stopping all delinquent real estate tax billings and late fees, the Mayor’s Office announced on Thursday.
The move is in line with 90-day extensions announced by the Internal Revenue Service and the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue.
Pittsburgh’s Finance Department will continue real estate billings. The department has suspended all treasurer’s sales of tax delinquent properties.
Mayor Bill Peduto on Wednesday said the city will end 2020 with a deficit for the first time in years. He said there’s no way to predict when the economic situation might improve.
In January, Pittsburgh’s 2020 operating budget projected a balanced $608 million in expenses and revenues with $85.8 million on reserve.
