Brookline property owners have until Monday, Nov. 2 to pay their Fiscal Year Quarter 2 real estate and personal property tax bills.
The bills were mailed Sept. 30, according to a town notice. The standard Q2 due date listed on the town's website is Nov. 1; the town set this cycle's deadline as Monday, Nov. 2.
Missing the deadline carries consequences. Under Massachusetts General Law Chapter 60, Section 3, failure to receive a bill does not excuse a late payment, according to the town's Treasurer/Collector page. The town also does not honor postmark dates, according to its online payments page. Payments count as received on the day they arrive.
