Property taxes are due on February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1. Failure to receive a bill does not exempt you from paying taxes or the interest due on delinquent taxes. The Township does permit a 10 day grace period. The State of New Jersey does not allow the Tax Collector to acknowledge postmark, therefore taxes must be received in the office on or before the 10th.
