Taxes PLEASE
NOTE Unpaid taxes remaining by the 1st day of February, May, August or November are subject to interest at the rate of 8% per annum up to $1500.00 and 18% per annum over $1500.00. Once the 18% per annum has been established it will remain at 18% until the outstanding amount is zero. Montgomery Township provides a 10 day grace period for payment of taxes. However, if the 10 day grace period is exceeded the interest accues from the 1st of the month that the payment is due. A penalty of 6% will be charged on any delinquency in excess of $10,000.00 if not paid by the end of the fiscal year.
Special 2010 Reminder: The March 1st Sewer Utility bills were mailed on March 4th and are due April 1st. Interest will be charged on all payments made more than ten (10) days after the due date. Sewer Utility bills are paid at the tax collector’s office or may be paid on-line (see link to left). Sewer utilities are payable semiannually on March 1st and September 1st and are subject to the same rate of interest as property taxes. Sewer Fee Calculation Method Effective 2009, sewer fees are based primarily on a utility user’s yearly water use multiplied by a universal rate, based upon sewer system operation costs and necessary maintenance and upgrades. Water use will be taken from the previous year’s measurement, as reflected on your water bills, which the township obtains, or meter readings. Therefore 2009 water usage will be utilized for the 2010 calculations. The public water utility company that provides water service in the Township and from which the Township obtains metered water use readings altered the frequency of the water meter readings and billings from quarterly to monthly in 2009. To account for this change, and for the purposes of 2010 sewer service rates only, the terms “calendar year” and “annual metered water use” shall include the period for the first quarter billed in 2009 (mid-November 2008) to the last billing month in 2009 (mid-December 2009). This definition shall not apply to premises that are not connected to the public water utility and to non-residential sewered premises using sewer effluent meters to measure sewage discharges. The 2010 Sewer User Rate Ordinance for 2010 was passed on March 3rd by the Township Committee. 2010 Sewer User Rate Ordinance – Ordinance 10-1350 A simple calculator which can assist you in calculating your 2010 sewer fee is contained in the following link. There are two independent columns on the calculator you may use – the first column allows calculation based on a measure of 100 cubic feet (ccf) of water used per billing period (see your NJ American water bill, 1 ccf per year = 100 cubic feet of water per year = 2.05 gallons per day. Convert to ccf from gallons by multiplying by 0.001337). If you NJAW water bill has your water usage in thousand gallons (1000g), then you can use the second column. If your property has a private water source (i.e. – well water) and you do not intend to install a water meter, then put 90 ccf into the first quarter in the first column. Drop
