Other Tax Bill Information

Assessments
Any questions concerning your assessment should be directed to the Tax Assessor. The Collector is responsible for the billing and collection of taxes only.

Payments
Any taxes are payable quarterly on the first day of February, May, August, and November after which dates they are delinquent and subject to interest and penalty. N.J.S.A.54:4-66.

Interest
Any taxes remaining unpaid by the first day of February, May, August or November are subject to interest and penalty per interest resolution adopted by the governing body of municipality. The interest and penalty to be charged is presented with this tax bill. N.J.S.A.54:4-67.

Preliminary and Final Taxes
The first half taxes (Preliminary) of any year are generally based on 1/2 of the previous years taxes. When the bill for the second half taxes (Final) is rendered, the tax rate has been established and the total years tax fixed. The estimated (Preliminary) amount is deducted from the total and the remainder becomes the second half taxes. N.J.S.A.54:4-64.

Flood Insurance
If your municipality is eligible for flood insurance, you are hereby advised that residents may purchase Federal Flood Insurance. Failure to purchase such insurance by a property owner will result in the denial of Federal Disaster Assistance to any such owner in any amount equivalent to that which could have been covered by Federal Flood Insurance. N.J.S.A. 54:4-64.1. Information on eligibility can be obtained from the Municipal Clerk.

Receipts
Remittance requiring a receipt must be accompanied by the entire tax bill with a self-addressed stamped envelope. Otherwise, detach the appropriate stub and mail with your check-the cancelled check will be your receipt.

Ownership Change
The current bill should be given to a new owner or his paying agent upon sale or exchange of this property. A charge may be imposed for a duplicate tax bill.

Tax Sale
Any delinquency from Calendar Year January to December 31, (of the current year) that remains delinquent on November 11 (of the current year), is subject to tax sale anytime after November 11, (of the current year). N.J.S.A. 54:5-19.
