You will receive one tax bill each year in July

No other bills are sent throughout the year, unless you have an added assessment on your property

Any taxes remaining unpaid by the first day of February, May, August and November are subject to interest and penalty per interest resolution adopted by the Mayor and Borough Council

Please call our office for the amount of interest due prior to making payments

Payments may be mailed with appropriate stub to Princeton Borough Tax Office

Sewer rents are based on the property’s prior years water consumption

The computation is based on the lower of either four times the winter quarter (the first bill of the prior year) or the total of the four quarters

Remote water meters are strongly recommended to insure actual consumption readings every quarter, to monitor flow for undetected leaks in the water system and to accurately control billings

Swimming pools and underground sprinkler systems should be metered and billed separately
