Woodstock waives interest, penalties for certain fees

Responding to the COVID-19 crisis, Woodstock has announced temporary assistance to residents and business owners who fall behind on their fee payments.

The city said it would not assess interest or penalties to water and utility bills not paid by the March 30 due date; not charge interest for the month of March for delinquent personal or real property accounts; and not charge additional penalties for delinquent business occupation taxes applied April 1.

The city also will allow payments on the alcohol excise pouring tax for restaurants and breweries, due March 20, to be deferred for 30 days.

“We are determined to take immediate steps to help our residents and businesses weather the current situation,” City Manager Jeff Moon said. “I’m sure in the coming days there will be more measures the city of Woodstock can implement to help our residents and businesses as additional needs arise.”
