West Tisbury became the second Island town this week to extend the property tax filing deadline to June 1.

Selectmen voted to approve the change at their meeting Wednesday.

Town treasurer Kathy agreed with the extension but warned the lag in payments could cause budgeting problems down the road, especially with short-term expenses mounting on top of usual annual expenses.

“Cash flow is going to be low,” she said. Ms. Logue said she has applied for a revenue anticipation note between $2.5 million and $3.5 million, essentially a short-term loan. Town administrator Jennifer Rand said there may be relief funds coming from MEMA to help cover the cost of emergency expenditures.

Tisbury has also extended its property tax filing deadline to June 1.
