Billing & Tax Payments Explained

Tax bills are sent out once a year during the summer.

Each bill mailed has two parts: a Final Tax Bill for the year that the bill is mailed; and a Preliminary Tax Bill for the following year. The Final Tax Bill and The Preliminary Tax Bill each have two payment stubs for a total of four payment stubs per bill.

The due dates on the payment stubs are August 1, November 1, February 1, and May 1.

Added/omitted assessment bills are mailed in October.

Under New Jersey statute, it is the property owner's responsibility to make sure that the property taxes are paid when due, even though the owner may not have received the tax bill. A bill is not necessary to make a payment.

If you have a change in mailing address, please contact the Assessor's office.

If when paying by mail, you would like to receive a receipt, please, when mailing your payment, enclose the tax bill along with a self-addressed stamped envelope.
