The Tax Collector's Office is located in the Municipal Building.

The hours of this office are 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday - Friday.

It is the collector's responsibility to collect all taxes from the residents of Edgewater Park Township.

Tax Bills are mailed out once a year, usually in July, with the first payment due on August 1st. If you have a mortgage company who is responsible for payment of your property taxes and you receive the original tax bill (not the Advice Only Copy), please forward the original tax bill to them with your loan number written on the bill.

The 'Advice Only' copy of the tax bill should be retained by you as a permanent record for income tax purposes, etc.

Taxes are due quarterly: February 1st, May 1st, August 1st and November 1st.
There is a 10-day grace period for each quarter and if the 10th should fall on a Saturday, Sunday or even a holiday, the grace period is extended to the next business day.

The bill you receive has 3rd and 4th quarters of the current year and 1st and 2nd of the following year.

Your tax stubs clearly state when the payments are due.

Your tax stub should accompany your payment. If a receipt is needed, you must mail the entire bill with an enclosed self-address stamped envelope.  If the entire bill is not enclosed your check will serve as your receipt.

Tax Deductions are handled in the Assessor's Office.  You may qualify for one of the following: Veterans, Senior Citizen, Widow, and Disabled Person.

Every year it is the responsibility of the Tax Collector to hold an annual Tax Sale. The Tax Sale consists of all unpaid taxes and other municipal charges for the previous year.  This will include any outstanding property maintenance or sewerage charges.  Our Tax Sale is usually held in September and is advertised in the Burlington County Times, three weeks prior to the sale.
