Lower Township is located at the southern tip of New Jersey and has the largest year round population in Cape May County; it is home to roughly 23,000 residents. Incorporated in 1798, our historic towns include Cold Spring, Erma, Fishing Creek, Villas, Diamond Beach, Shawcrest, Schellenger's Landing, North Cape May and Townbank.
The Township of Lower regrets to announce that the outdoor municipal pool will not be open to the public for the 2026 summer season. Due to unforeseen delays and construction-related complications, the timeline for completing the new and improved pool building has been affected.
This decision was made with the safety and well-being of our residents and patrons as the top priority, while also ensuring a safe and secure work environment for contractors and staff during the ongoing construction process.
While we are deeply disappointed to share this news, our commitment remains focused on delivering a facility that meets the Township’s operational, safety, and quality standards. We will continue working closely with our contractor to complete this exciting upgrade and look forward to welcoming everyone back for the summer of 2027.

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.
