In Toms River You Now Have Until June 1st to Pay Your Property Tax Bill Penalty Free

Shore News Network

TOMS RIVER, NJ – There’s great news for Toms River residents, the mayor and council last night approved a 21 day extension to pay your second quarter tax bill, so you can hang on to that money now until the end of May!  Taxes are due May 1st, but if you pay by June 1st, there will be no penalties incurred.

“Mayor and Council have approved a resolution that directs the Tax Collector to extend the grace period to pay the May 1st taxes until June 1st, 2020. The grace period by state statue is only allowed until the 10th day of each tax quarter,” the township said.

Yesterday, the Governor of New Jersey issued executive order no. 130 giving municipalities the option to allow by resolution an extension of the grace period.

The executive order does not change the due date of May 1st, changing the grace period allows the owner to make payment to the tax collector’s office on or before June 1st without interest due on the May tax quarter. Payment received after June 1st will have interest due going back to the May 1st date as require by state statue.
