Failure to receive a tax bill does not exempt you from paying taxes and any interest due to late payments per State Statute N.J.S.A. 54:4-64. The Borough of Ramsey has a resolution to charge 8% on the first $1500.00 and 18% on amounts greater than $1500.00 on delinquencies.  If by the end of the year, the accumulation of all municipal charges, including water and sewer and interest, are over $10,000.00, a 6% penalty is applied to the taxes.

An improvement to your home increases the selling price and your property tax. This will generate an added assessment tax bill.  It will be issued at the end of October and Due November 1, February 1 and May 1.  The following year the additional tax will be included in your regular bill.  Sometimes these added bills are retroactive for 2 full years.  If your bank escrows for taxes, we recommend you call them to make sure they are going to pay it.  Some mortgage companies consider this your responsibility.  If payment is not made by your mortgage company and your payment is late, we must charge interest.
