FAQs
What is the Last Date to Pay Taxes Without Penalty?
Taxes are due February 1st, May 1st, August 1st and November 1st. Roseland offers a 10 day grace period. If taxes are not paid within the 10 day grace period interest reverts back to the due dates.
When Will I Receive My Tax Bill?
Tax bills are mailed once a year. The Collector begins preparing the tax bills as soon as the extended tax duplicate is delivered.
What is the Interest Rate on Late Payments?
NJSA 54:4-67 states that if payment is not received by the end of business hours on the 10th day of the grace period, interest is to be charged. Interest is 8% per annum on the first $1,500.00 of delinquency; balances in excess of $1,500.00 have an interest rate of 18% per annum. The 18% rate remains in place until the taxes are brought current. Interest is charged from the 1st of the month that payment is due, or the date of last payment. In addition, if the total balance (tax and interest) exceeds $10,000.00 on December 31, a 6% penalty shall be added added to the amount due to the Borough.
Under this statue, the collector must have physical possession of the payment; no postmarks accepted.
