About the Tax Collector

The Tax Collector is responsible for the billing, collection, reporting and enforcement of municipal taxes for the City of Lambertville. As a statutory officer of the State of New Jersey, the Tax Collector is obligated to follow all the State Statutes regarding property tax collection including billing, due dates, interest on delinquent tax payments and tax sale procedures.

About Tax Bills

Property tax bills are mailed out once a year after all budgets (municipal, county, school districts and fire district) have been approved.  This generally occurs at the end of June.  Added Assessment bills are mailed out in October.  Added Assessment bills are for improvements made to your property after October 1st of the pre-tax year to September 30th of the current tax year.

Tax Payments are due on a quarterly basis as follows:

Payments are due by the 10th of the month to avoid interest.  Interest is 8% on the first $1500 and 18% on all delinquencies thereafter. There is a 6% year end penalty on all balances (including interest) over $10,000 as of December 31st.

The Tax Collector is in the office Tuesday evenings from 5:00 to 7:00pm. We encourage residents to pay online here. You may also make your quarterly tax payment at City Hall, Monday through Friday during regular business hours.
