TAX COLLECTOR OFFICE RESPONSIBILITIES
The Tax & Sewer Collections Department is responsible for billing, collection, recording and enforcement of tax, water and sewer revenue.
TAX BILLS
Tax bills are mailed once a year typically in September for the 4th quarter of the current year and for the 1st and 2nd quarters of the subsequent year. Please mark your calendars with the quarterly due dates.
Estimated bills are for the 3rd quarter only and typically go out in June for the 3rd quarter. These are 1/3 page notices you will receive.
TAX PAYMENT DUE DATES

Each of these due dates has a 10 day grace period. If the 10th falls on a weekend or holiday, the grace period is extended to the next business day. Any payment received after the grace period shall be charged interest from the due date.
Failure to receive a bill does not exempt you from paying taxes, water or sewer, or the interest due on delinquent taxes. If you are having problems with receiving your bills, please notify your local post office.
Delinquent payments will be applied to interest first and then the principal. The unpaid principal balance will be considered delinquent and will accrue interest. Interest is calculated at 8% per annum on the first $1,500.00 of delinquency and 18% per annum for any delinquency over $1,500.00. Any delinquency in excess of $10,000.00 as of December 31st each year is subject to a 6% year end penalty.
If you receive a tax bill that says “NOT A BILL – FOR ADVICE ONLY”, and you pay your own taxes, then please use the “advice only” bill to make payment and notify our office to remove the bank code from your account.
Added Assessment bills are mailed out no later than October 25th and due by November 1st, February 1st, & May 1st.

ANNUAL POST-TAX YEAR STATEMENT FOR SENIOR CITIZENS/DISABLED DEDUCTIONS
Recipients of a $250 deduction as a Senior Citizen or as a Permanently Disabled Individual must file a statement confirming their eligibility for the deduction after the close of each tax year. This statement, called the Annual Post-Tax Tear Statement (or PD5), is mailed by the Tax Collector to each deduction recipient by February 1st each year. The form must be completed, signed and returned to the Tax Collector on or before March 1st each year. Failure to file the form will result in the deduction being disallowed and charged back.
To Apply for this program please see the Tax Assessor for the application.
The PD5 requests the deduction recipient to confirm:
If the property is sold, this form must still be completed by the deduction recipient in order for the deduction to remain in a prorated amount for the portion of the year they owned the property.
If a deduction is disallowed, a taxpayer can appeal to the County Board of Taxation. To obtain information regarding appeals, contact:
