Unpaid taxes remaining by the 1st day of February, May, August or November are subject to interest at the rate of 8% per annum up to $1500.00 and 18% per annum over $1500.00. If mailing your payment, allow sufficient time for the mail to arrive prior to end of grace period to avoid interest charges.įurthermore, since the Township of Montgomery must deposit all checks that are received within 48 hours of receipt as required by New Jersey State Statute, the Township cannot hold any checks for a period of time hence, the Township cannot accept postdated checks. Interest will typically be charged on all payments made more than ten (10) days after the due date (see above exception of delay on our part).Ī payment will not be applied towards an account until it is in physical possession of the Township, regardless of postmarked date. Tax bills are payable quarterly typically on the 1st day of February, May, August and November, after which date they are delinquent and subject to interest. Taxes are paid at the tax collector’s office or by online payment. Thank you for your patience in this matter.

Final tax bills were delayed until we receive tax rates from Somerset County. The mailing of third quarter property tax bills are being worked on now. Mailed checks must reach the Township by the end of grace period to be considered on time. There is also a drop box located in front of the municipal building at 100 Community Drive, Skillman. Your taxes may be viewed and paid on the Make a Payment page (green button, middle of homepage). PLEASE TAKE NOTE: Due to a delay in sending out bills, Montgomery's third quarter 2023 property taxes, while due August 1, will allow a grace period ending SEPTEMBER 15.
