Billing:
Property taxes are mailed out once a year in the summer. Tax Bills
consist of four quarters, the 3rd and 4th of the current year and the
1st
and 2nd quarter of the following year. If your bank or mortgage company
has escrow for your taxes, the original bill will be sent to them and
the “advice” copy will be sent to you.
Tax bills are due on:
- February 1st
- May 1st
- August 1st
- November 1st
** All tax due dates have a 10-day grace period after which interest
will be charged back to the due date. Post marks are not accepted.
Delivery of Tax Bills: Per NJSA 54:4-64, failure to receive a tax bill
does not relieve the homeowner from paying property taxes or delinquent
interest.
New Homeowners: When there is a change of ownership, the tax bill is to
be forwarded from the previous owner to the new owner. If you are
a new homeowner and have not received a tax or sewer bill, please
