When do I receive my tax bill?
Taxes are billed once a year with four quarterly stubs containing the amounts due and the due dates. This generally ccurs at the end of June or July, after all budgets are approved and the tax rate is struck by the County.

What if I did not receive my tax bill and don’t know the amount or when they are due?
According to the NJ State Statute 54:4-64, non-receipt of a tax bill does not release you from payment. If you do not receive a bill please call (973) 535-7985 and you will be provided with the amount or a duplicate tax bill.

I am delinquent on my taxes. What is the minimum amount I must pay?
The minimum amount you have to pay is all interest accumulated to date and quarterly payment that is past due.

Can the interest be waived?
No. According to State law all interest being charged must be collected.

Can I make partial payments?
