EAST WINDSOR TOWNSHIP UPDATES - Quarterly Property Tax Payment Due May 1. Over the past few weeks, many Township residents have inquired about the May 1, 2020 property tax payments. The laws of New Jersey set the due dates and allow up to a ten day grace period for the payment of property taxes, including the May 1 payment. East Windsor has always allowed the ten day grace period. No changes have been made by the State of New Jersey regarding property tax payment dates, provision of additional time or waiver of interest. Therefore, payments are due on May 1 and must be received by May 11 to avoid any interest payments. While many taxpayers prefer to pay property taxes by cash, this method requires additional procedures and safeguards during this health emergency. WE ASK THAT PROPERTY TAXES BE PAID ONLINE, OR BY CHECK, OR BY MONEY ORDER, AND TO MAKE CASH PAYMENTS WHEN IT IS YOUR ONLY OPTION. Payments can be mailed or left in the drop box outside the municipal building.
- PAID ONLINE: by e-check or debit card or credit card, 24 hours a day, seven days a week on the Township website at www.east-windsor.nj.us/pay-a-tax-bill. Online payments are subject to a convenience fee of $1.05 for e-check payments, $3.95 for Visa debit card payments and 2.95% for all other credit or debit card payments. This service also allows a taxpayer online access to the current year's tax bill as well as their tax account history for the prior three years.
- MAIL: to East Windsor Township, 16 Lanning Boulevard, Attn: Tax Office, East Windsor, NJ 08520-1999; if you require a receipt please include a self-addressed stamped envelope.
