Can I pay my taxes with a credit card?
No, however taxes can be paid on-line either through this website or through your own bank.

When are taxes due and can interest be waived?
The taxes are due February 1, May 1, August 1, and November 1.  There is a ten day grace period.  All taxes must be received in the office by the tenth.  Post marks are not accepted.  Statute number 54:4-67 precludes Mayor, Council, or the Collector from waiving interest.  Interest will be applied first and the remaining balance will be applied to the principal.

I paid off my mortgage, when do I get a bill to pay the remaining quarters?
Tax bills are mailed once a year, normally in July.  If you received an advice copy bill, you are to use that for making payments until a new bill is mailed to you.  You will not receive a new bill until the next billing cycle.  Please notify the tax office so they can remove the billing code and all further bills will go directly to your home.

I just purchased my home and the bill is in the previous owner's name, when will I receive my bill?
As with the previous question, you are to use the bill in your possession. Taxes are to the property not to an individual. So no matter what the name, if the bill is for your property location, then you pay the bill.
