The Treasury Department issues property tax bills two (2) times per year:
Interim Tax Bills  are issued at the beginning of March with installments due the last business day in March and May. Taxes owing are calculated based on 50% of the previous year’s Total Taxes.
Final Tax Bills  are issued at the beginning of September with installments due the last business day in September and November. Taxes owing are calculated based on the current assessment (established by MPAC) multiplied by the current year’s Tax Rate (established by Council), less the Interim Billing.
If you have concerns regarding the assessed value of your property you may contact the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) to file a Request for Reconsideration (RfR). The deadline for submitting a Request for Reconsideration for the previous tax year is March 31st. To learn more about the RfR process and to download an application form please visit the MPAC web site page. Request for Reconsideration (RfR) Forms are also available at the Municipal Office.
TAX BILL MAILING PROCESS
The Municipality strives to ensure that all tax notices are mailed out on time and to the most recent address on the assessment roll. Address changes MUST be submitted to the office in writing. Please click here to view the Address Change Form. It is the responsibility of the taxpayer to ensure that payments are made in a timely manner, regardless of receipt of the tax notice.
