There is a black mailbox at the front of the building that is strictly for dropping off items for our departments if you choose not to enter the building or for after hours.  You may put your bill & check in an envelope marked for the “Tax Office” in that black box as we check the box daily.  If you enclosed your entire tax bill, it will be stamped “Paid” and mailed back to you.

The Tax Assessor’s office is required to mail assessment notices for 2024 to all property owners by 2/1/24.  These postcards are intended to notify owners of any assessment value changes and to advise of the tax appeal process and deadline and is not considered proof of payment of property taxes.
The Tax Collector’s office does not mail statements of taxes paid for income tax purposes. If you need detailed payment history, please email or call the Tax Collector and the information will be provided to you. The information is also available via the online payment portal here:

The Homestead Benefit program has been replaced with the "Affordable New Jersey Communities for Homeowners and Renters (ANCHOR)" Program
This program provides property tax relief to New Jersey residents who owned or rented their principal residence (main home) on October 1, 2021, and met the 2021 gross income limits.
You may click this link for more information:  https://www.nj.gov/treasury/taxation/anchor/index.shtml      
The filing deadline for the 2020 ANCHOR Program was December 29, 2023 
ANCHOR benefits are paid in the form of a direct deposit or check, not as credits to property tax bills.
                                              
                                                           **New Information regarding the ANCHOR program**

The State of New Jersey will file ANCHOR applications on behalf of most qualified residents who received an ANCHOR benefit earlier this year (for tax year 2019). If you qualify, you will receive an "ANCHOR Benefit Confirmation Letter" in August of 2023, notifying you that you meet the requirements.

If the information in your confirmation letter remains the same as your prior filing, no action is required on your part. Benefit payments will be issued using the same method and banking information used in your prior filing and contained in your confirmation letter. The letter serves as your confirmation of filing and we will not send you an additional confirmation number. If you have more questions, please call or stop into the tax office.


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 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 Haddonfield 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 are a new homeowner or have lost your bill, please call the tax office to obtain the amount due and to request a duplicate copy of your bill.You may also use our online portal to print a tax bill and view the amounts due.

Instructions for making an Online payment on our Website:

Once you have navigated to the web page, take the following steps to make your payment: 

  1. Find your account by searching for the last name of the home owner, the property address, the block/lot number, or the tax account number.

  2. Once you have located your record, verify the amount due and select the “Make a Payment” button.

  3. Follow the payment wizard to enter your e-check or credit card data.

  4. Please make sure you hit "proceed" after you have verified your information, which then takes you to the next screen where you must hit finish to process the payment.

  5. You will be taken back to the "home" screen where you should see "payment pending."

Please Note: The payment system can only process one payment at a time.  Another payment cannot be made on the payment system until the previous payment is processed. At this time, e-check and credit card payments are only accepted online and cannot be made in person at the Borough office.


  • 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 Haddonfield. 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 856-429-4700 ext. 227.  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 HADDONFIELD only. Make sure your check is signed and please check the date! Post dated checks are not acceptable.
