Tax Payment Due Dates and Grace Periods
Tax payments are due four times a year: February 1, May 1, August 1, and November 1. Tax payments have a 10-day grace period -- on the 11th day of each quarter tax payments are subject to interest.
The interest on late payments for taxes is calculated at a rate of 8%
on the first $1500.00 and 18% for any amount over $1500.00, retroactive
to the first of the month.
If you have any questions about tax payments, please call the Tax Department at 973-509-4923, 4922, 4921.
