  **第一項**  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。

  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).
