To assist the local business community, Peachtree Corners is implementing a 60-day deferral period on all business license fees. The annual fees, normally due by March 31, are now due May 31. There will be no penalty fees assessed during this period.
The city is also temporarily waiving the convenience fees charged for online and/or internet transactions and deferring payment of alcohol excise tax for 60 days. No penalty fees will be assessed during this period.
The city is also asking landlords to participate as Community Partners by offering tenants a 60-day deferral on rent payments and banks to work with their customers by offering a 60-day penalty-free deferral on loan payments. A special webpage is being created at www.peachtreecornersga.gov to identify and showcase its Community Partners.
“None of us in our lifetime have had to encounter the circumstances we are now facing,” said Mayor Mike Mason. “Be assured the council and I are committed to doing everything we can as a city to ensure all who live and work here are safe. And we are committed to doing all we can do to ensure our businesses survive and are able to return to operating as they were before the outbreak of the coronavirus.”
