In addition to ex officio suspension of realization, where it is found that paying or remitting in a lump sum the local government levies relating to that local government is likely to make it difficult for a person delinquent in payment to continue the business or maintain the livelihood, and that person is found to have a sincere intention to pay or remit those local government levies, the head of the local government may, upon application by that person made within the period specified by the Prefectural or Municipal Ordinance of that local government from the due date for payment of those local government levies, suspend the realization of property through delinquent tax collection procedures, for a period not exceeding one year, for the local government levies that the person is to pay or remit (excluding those for which the person has received a deferral of collection).
地方団体の長は、職権による換価の猶予によるほか、滞納者が当該地方団体に係る地方団体の徴収金を一時に納付し、又は納入することによりその事業の継続又はその生活の維持を困難にするおそれがあると認められる場合において、その者が当該地方団体の徴収金の納付又は納入について誠実な意思を有すると認められるときは、当該地方団体の徴収金の納期限から当該地方団体の条例で定める期間内にされたその者の申請に基づき、一年以内の期間を限り、その納付し、又は納入すべき地方団体の徴収金（徴収の猶予を受けているものを除く。）につき滞納処分による財産の換価を猶予することができる。
The preceding paragraph may be left unapplied where, in addition to the local government levies relating to the application, there are arrears of local government levies relating to that local government (excluding those set forth in the following items) (including where there is non-performance of an obligation relating to a claim of that local government specified by the Prefectural or Municipal Ordinance of that local government), or in any other case specified by the Prefectural or Municipal Ordinance of that local government as cases where it is inappropriate to grant suspension of realization upon application.
前項の規定は、当該申請に係る地方団体の徴収金以外に、当該地方団体に係る地方団体の徴収金（次の各号に掲げるものを除く。）の滞納がある場合（当該地方団体の条例で定める当該地方団体の債権に係る債務の不履行がある場合を含む。）その他申請による換価の猶予をすることが適当でない場合として当該地方団体の条例で定める場合には、適用しないことができる。

Prefectural or Municipal Ordinance
条例
A rule a local government makes for itself: a prefecture (都道府県), a city, town or village (市町村), or one of Tokyo's special wards (特別区) (Local Autonomy Act, Articles 1-3, 281 and 283). Its assembly (議会), whose members the residents elect, passes it (Articles 89 and 96, paragraph (1), item (i)), and its head — the governor or the mayor (Article 139) — promulgates it, that is, makes it public so that it can take effect (Article 16). The Constitution lets local governments make them within the limits of Acts (Constitution, Article 94), and one may not go against the national laws and regulations (法令), such as Acts, Cabinet Orders (政令) and Ministerial Orders (省令) (Local Autonomy Act, Article 14, paragraph (1)). Unless national laws and regulations provide otherwise, a local government can impose a duty or restrict a right only by one of these (Article 14, paragraph (2)), and it may write into one penalties for breaking it, within limits the Local Autonomy Act sets (Article 14, paragraph (3)). It is made for that local government's own affairs (Article 2, paragraph (2) and Article 14, paragraph (1)), so the same matter can be handled differently from one place to the next. It is a local rule, not a national one: an "ordinance" in the name of a national rule, such as an Ordinance for Enforcement of an Act, is usually a Ministerial Order (省令) or another national instrument.
