Tax Office

General Information
School tax bills are mailed around the beginning of September each year. Actual mailing date for the 2017-2018 tax bill will be posted here when the time gets closer. Only one bill will be mailed. If a duplicate is needed, please contact the tax office. Failure to receive a bill does not in any way affect the due date of the tax or penalty prescribed by law. (RPT 922). If you no longer own the property listed, please call the tax office. If you have an escrow account, forward the bill to your mortgage company. Finally, we cannot accept partial payments of installments.


Payment Options
Payment in full with no penalty or installment fee, on or before Oct. 6, 2016.

Installment payments (without penalty):
  1st installment due date Oct. 6, 2016
  2nd installment due date Dec. 6, 2016
  3rd installment due date: Mar. 6, 2017

(If the installment option is chose, a $1.00 installment fee will be added automatically to the 1st installment)


Late Payments
A 1% penalty is assessed on the first day after the due date and on the first day of each month thereafter.

Post Marks
We are legally bound by United States Postal postmarks or postmarks of accredited ground services (e.g. UPS, FedEx). Pitney Bowes (or any similar metering system) is NOT a legal postmark. If a payment arrives with a postmark that is not legal or without a postmark, it is considered paid on the day that it arrives in the tax office. (RPT 925)
