Tax Collection

Show All Answers

1. When will I receive a new tax bill?

Tax bills are mailed in July. Each bill contains 4 perforated stubs for the 3rd and 4th quarter of the current year, and the 1st and 2nd quarters of the next year. Original bills are mailed to those who pay their own taxes, and to banks and mortgage companies. 

Property owners who pay their taxes through their mortgage company receive an advice copy of the tax bill. This advice copy can be used to make tax payments if a mortgage has been paid off by the property owner. Please read both the front and the back of the bill.

2. How are taxes computed?

The total tax levy to be collected is the sum of the local budget and the budgets of the school board and county board. This figure is divided by the total assessments in the township to produce the tax rate. That tax rate is then applied to individual assessments.

The 1st half of your tax bill is estimated, and equal to half of the total prior year taxes. It is estimated because the rate cannot be computed until all budgets have been approved; budget approval occurs in June. The 2nd half tax bill is computed by applying the new tax rate to the current year assessment, then deducting the amount billed in the 1st half.

3. I need to change my address, or mortgage information. What should I do?

Escrow taxes with A Mortgage Company

• An Initial Authorization Form from the Mortgage Company is needed. 
• This form, when signed by you, authorizes us to send your tax bill to the mortgage company.

• Written notice to stop sending the original bills to the mortgage company is necessary.
• Please complete the Bank Code Removal Form (PDF) and return it to the Tax Collection Department. 

4. I don’t have a tax bill. Why am I charged interest?

NJSA 54:4-64 states that failure to receive a bill does not invalidate the tax due; it is the property owner’s responsibility to ascertain from the proper official (Tax Collector) the amount due. If you have recently purchased the property, or lost your bill, you should call the Tax office to obtain the amount due and request a copy of the bill.

5. What is a tax sale? Can I buy property at the tax sale?

Delinquent prior year taxes, utility charges, and other Borough charges will be sold to the highest bidder in the form of liens. The borough holds an annual tax sale for those properties delinquent for the prior year. The state requires that any property listed for tax sale be publicly published and posted in the borough. The costs of publication and sale are added to the amount to be sold. 

Upon the sale of these liens, the purchasers (Lien Holders) may pay current year delinquencies and add those balances to the lien. Lien holders must wait 2 years before they can begin to foreclose a property. The property owner may redeem the lien at any time prior to foreclosure, through the Office of the Tax Collector.

Find more information about Tax Sales (PDF).

6. How do I pay off a lien?

You must request (PDF) in writing to the Collector a statement of redemption. At no time should you approach the lien holder. The request must include the date that you anticipate making payment and a statement of your legal interest in the property. The Collector will provide you with a payoff figure that is computed to the date of the Borough's next Council meeting. You may be required to provide proof of identity. New Jersey Tax Sale Law only allows "interested parties" the right to redeem.

The only forms of payment are cash, certified check or money order. The Collector will notify the lien holder that payment has been received and request the lien certificate from the lien holder. This certificate will be forwarded to you and you will then have the lien removed at the county.

7. What programs are available to reduce taxes?

Find information about the programs available to reduce taxes:
