BAYONNE — The Tax Collector’s Office announced that third quarter property tax payments are due on Tuesday, Aug. 31. The nominal due date for first quarter property taxes was Sunday, Aug. 1. However, the City of Bayonne extended the period during which taxpayers can make payments. There is a grace period for payments through the close of business on Tuesday, August 31. Payments made by that date will avoid a late fee. Property owners may pay their taxes by mail or in person at City Hall, 630 Avenue C, or at Bayonne branches of Bayonne Community Bank (BCB).
By state law, quarterly payments received after the close of business on Tuesday, Aug. 31 will incur interest charges dating back to Sunday, Aug. 1, the nominal, legal due date for the third quarter. For anyone making payment in person on August 31, the Tax Collector’s Office strongly recommends paying at City Hall.
