Is is to your advantage to come into our office when you purchase you property. It takes the County 3 - 6 months to tell us when a property changes owners, and in the meantime you are responsible for your Tax and utility bills. Any questions regarding your actual tax assessment should be directed to the Tax Assessor's Office , as the Tax Collector is responsible solely for the billing and collection of your taxes. A taxpayer may file an appeal with the County Board of Taxation on or before April 1 of each year. Forms may be obtained from the County Tax Administrator, the Tax Assessor's Office, or you may download one here .
Tax bills are due on a quarterly basis.
Tax bills are mailed once a year during the summer. The bill you receive has 3rd and 4th quarters of the current year, and 1st and 2nd quarters of the following year. The due dates for each quarter are printed on the payment stubs of the bill, February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1. There is no discount for pre-payment. Otherwise, it is acceptable to detach the appropriate stub to mail along with your check, and the canceled check will serve as your receipt.
