The Bayonne City Council has extended the deadline for third-quarter property tax payments.
The Bayonne Tax Collector’s Office announced that third-quarter property tax payments are due by close of business on Monday, August 10. The nominal legal due date for the tax bills is Saturday, August 1.
Payments made by that date will avoid a late fee.
Property owners may pay their taxes by mail or in person at city hall, 630 Avenue C, at Bayonne branches of BCB Community Bank, or through the City of Bayonne website, www.bayonnenj.org.
Estimated bills due
The third-quarter bills are called estimated bills, because Hudson County has not yet struck an official tax rate for 2020. The county will announce the tax rate in August.
By state law, quarterly payments received after the close of business on Monday, August 10, will incur interest charges dating back to Saturday, August 1.
For residents making payments in person on August 10, the Tax Collector’s Office strongly recommends paying at city before 4:30 p.m.
Taxpayers can drop off various payments in boxes inside the two sets of front doors at city hall. Be sure to drop your tax payment in the tax box, which looks like a mailbox.
Residents who handle their property taxes through their monthly mortgage payments should have received advice copies of the property tax bills in the most recent tax mailing, according to the city. They should continue paying their property taxes through their mortgages.
