City of Huntington Announces Amnesty Period for Delinquent Fee Penalties
The City of Huntington will offer its annual amnesty period for waiving penalties on delinquent municipal/fire protection and refuse fees beginning Tuesday, April 15, through Thursday, May 15, 2025.
This limited-time opportunity applies only to owner-occupied properties and offers relief on penalties only—it does not affect the principal amount or interest owed, in accordance with IRS regulations. To take advantage of the amnesty, property owners must pay the full principal amount due no later than May 15, 2025.
To qualify for the penalty waiver, the following criteria must be met:
- The property owner has not received a penalty waiver within the past 10 years.
- If liens are placed on the property, the owner must also pay all lien interest and court costs in addition to the outstanding fees. Only penalties will be waived.
- The property must not be under contract for sale during the amnesty period.
