OFFICE OF THE BRIELLE BOROUGH TAX COLLECTOR

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 such as water/sewer payments.

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 July and contain 4 quarterly payment coupons. Taxes are due Feb. 1, May 1, Aug 1, and Nov. 1. 

The Borough of Brielle does grant a 10-day grace period. 

If the tax bills are mailed late, the due date is extended 25 days after the date of mailing and there will be NO grace period.

NJSA 54:4-66 states interest is retroactive to the original due date. The State of New Jersey DOES NOT accept postmarks, taxes must be received in our office on or before the 10th by close of business.

 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 amount due.  If you have lost your bill, or your bill was lost in the mail, please call the tax office to obtain the amount due and to request a copy of your bill. You may also view your amount due and print a copy of your bill HERE.

If you receive an “advice only” statement but do not have a mortgage company, use this statement to pay your taxes, and notify the tax office to take the bank code off your account.
