If your property taxes are paid through your mortgage company, the bill will have a notation stating “Advice Copy Only”. If your mortgage company is no longer responsible for remitting property tax payments, you may use these payment stubs. Please call and tell us you no longer have a mortgage so we can update our records.

Failure to receive a tax bill does not exempt you from paying your taxes or the interest due on delinquent taxes.

 

There are often times when the Tax Collector must return checks that are written out incorrectly. Please double check the following when writing your check:

  • Check is payable to Borough of Sayreville
  • Check is signed
  • The numeric amount matches the written amount
  • Include a self-addressed, stamped envelope for any information you require returned
  • Please do not staple or tape your tax stub to your check
