These postcards are intended to notify owners of any assessment value changes and to advise of the tax appeal deadline. The 2021 tax amounts listed are not necessarily accurate if the property has any deductions or added assessments and is not considered proof of payment.

Tax Information:
The mission of the Tax Collectors Office is to adhere to the responsibilities of billing, collection, reporting, and enforcement of property taxes and other municipal charges.
As a statutory office of the State of New Jersey, the tax collector is obligated to follow all of the State Statutes regarding property tax collection.
Property tax bills are mailed once a year in with the final 3rd & 4th quarter current year amounts due, and 1st & 2nd preliminary year quarter amounts due
Tax Collection due dates are February 1, May 1, August 1, and November 1 By resolution The Borough of Audubon permits a 10-day grace period. If the tax bills are mailed late, the grace period for the 3rd quarter payment is extended 25 days after the date of mailing. As per NJSA 54:4-66 payments received after the grace period are charged interest back to the original due date. Interest is charged at the rate of 8% per annum on the first $1,500 of the delinquency and 18% per annum on any amount in excess of $1,500. There is a 6% year-end penalty on delinquencies in excess of $10,000 if not paid by the end of the year.
The State of New Jersey DOES NOT allow the Tax Collector to accept postmarks, therefore taxes must be received in our office on or before the close of the 10-day grace period.
NJSA 54:4-64 states Failure to receive a tax bill does not exempt you from paying taxes or delinquent interest on taxes. It is the property owner’s responsibility to ascertain from the proper official (Tax Collector) the amounts due. If you have lost your bill please call the tax office to obtain the amount due and to request a duplicate copy of your bill.
If you receive an “advice only” statement and a mortgage company is NOT responsible for making your tax payments, you may use this statement to pay your taxes. Please notify the tax office that you pay your own property taxes and do not have an escrow account.
Payments may be made by mail, online, or in person.

If you make a payment online through your own bank, please note that it is not an electronic transfer/posting since your bank mails a physical check to the Borough of Audubon. The Tax Office is mandated by State Statute to use the date payment is received as the posting date, not the date on the check. Please check your bank's policy on delivery times to avoid late interest charges. Most banks recommend scheduling payments on or before the due date, so please allow 7-10 days for delivery.
If you wish a receipt when paying by mail, please include the entire bill and a self-addressed stamped envelope with your payment.
Assessment questions should be directed to the Tax Assessor at 856-665-1000 x 116. Please note that the Tax Collector is responsible for billing and collection of taxes only.
It is quite often necessary to return checks that are written incorrectly. These errors can result in delays that may cause interest to be charged for late payments. By following the pointers listed below we hope some of these most common errors can be avoided:
Ensure the written amount matches the (number) dollar amount! This is the most common error. Your check MUST be made payable to BOROUGH OF AUDUBON only. Make sure your check is signed and please check the date! Post-dated checks are not acceptable.
