(ie: November 10th falls on a Saturday, we are closed Monday, November 12th for Veterans day, the last day of the grace period would become Tuesday, November 13th to pay to avoid interest).

Pleas note that on the following last day of the grace period, interest will be charged, reverting to the statutory due dates, at 8% on the first $1500.00 and 18% on the remaining balance.

No. Per State Statue 12-146, a Tax Collector does not have the authority to waive interest due on a delinquent tax.
