Tax Bills Due May 1 In Montclair: What You Need To Know

MONTCLAIR, NJ — The Montclair Municipal Building is closed to the public due to the coronavirus until further notice. But your tax and water bills still have to be paid, town officials say.

According to a municipal advisory, property tax payments are due May 1 with a 10-day grace period.

The final grace period due date for making water bill payments is May 1. Interest will accrue on late payments from the April 1 deadline.

The Montclair Municipal Building is currently closed to the public until further notice.

Montclair officials offered the following information:

• The finance department has waived online transaction fees for tax, water and sewer payments. The township will credit all bill payment transaction fees on future bills – this includes credit card and electronic check payments for property tax and utility bills paid online. We encourage everyone to make payments online. To pay your tax, sewer, or water bill online, visit: wipp.edmundsassoc.com/Wipp/?wippid=0713
