The Real Estate Tax Face Amount due date extension to October 31, 2020 allows those residential and business property owners to pay their tax bill without penalty until October 31^st.  From November 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020, those property owners who did not pay their Township Real Estate Tax Bill will be assessed a 10% penalty on the Face Amount of their Real Estate Tax bills.  Any Township Real Estate Tax not paid by December 31, 2020 will be forwarded to the Chester County Tax Claim Bureau.
