Dear Editor,
IN light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Mayor and Councillors of the City of Georgetown is offering amnesty on interest on general rates for the year 2020. The Council has recognised that many of its citizens are experiencing financial constraints, and it is imperative that financial assistance be provided. The Council is encouraging rate-payers who have outstanding rates for 2020 to make use of this offer.

The City Treasure’s Department will be opened to the public for the payment of rates and taxes from Mondays to Fridays. This service is available from 08:30 hours to 13:30 hours daily. Persons who wish to make payments must observe these precautionary guidelines: Handwashing, wearing of face mask, and social distancing. Due to COVID-19, the Council has not provided a cut-off point for the Amnesty. For more information, please call telephone numbers 226-7963 or 226-1228.

Regards,
Debra Lewis
Public Relations Officer
