Property taxes are levied as of January 1. Tax bills are issued annually in July. It is a final bill for the current year and a preliminary bill for the next year. It includes four quarterly installments. The payments are due February 1, May 1, August 1, and November 1.

There is a 10 day grace period. If taxes are received after the due date, interest is accrued at 8% for the first $1,500 and 18% over $1,500. Interest is charged from the original due date. The payment date is the date the payment is received in the tax collector’s office, not the postmarked date; NJ State Statute prohibits the receipt of postmarked payments.

There is also a 6% penalty on any delinquency in excess of $10,000 at the end of the fiscal year. Any taxes not paid by the end of the year are subject to Tax Sale. The sale may be held at any time after the current fiscal year.

Failure to receive a tax bill does NOT exempt homeowners from paying taxes or accruing interest on any delinquencies. If a tax bill has not been received or has been misplaced, please contact the Tax Collector or check the balance of the taxes that are owed online.
