ASBURY PARK – Asbury Park has extended its grace period for tax and sewer payments due May 1 to June 1.

The extension follows Gov. Phil Murphy’s Executive Order No. 130 that allowed for the extension.

Homeowners will be able to pay by June 1, 2020 without incurring interest costs or penalties. For payments received after June 1, 2020, interest will revert back to May 1, 2020.

Under existing law, towns may only allow for a grace period of up to 10 days after the property tax deadline without interest or penalty. In the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, the law was amended to allow towns that have experienced a flood, hurricane, superstorm, tornado or other natural disaster to extend the grace period for up to a month in certain circumstances, Murphy said.
