Bloomfield Will Delay Sending Estimated Tax Bills (Here’s Why)

BLOOMFIELD, NJ — Bloomfield is postponing the release of its latest round of estimated tax bills, opting instead to wait for the certified tax rate, township officials announced Tuesday.

Bloomfield officials said they anticipate receiving the certified rate later this week, thus “ensuring accurate billing for residents.”

As a result, tax bills will be mailed no later than July 24. However, if the grace period needs to be extended, that date will be communicated on residents’ tax bills, as well as on the township website, officials said.

According to a statement from the township:

“By utilizing the certified rate, taxpayers will receive accurate bills based on the most up-to-date information, allowing for more informed financial planning. For further updates or information regarding tax bill issuance and payments, residents are advised to visit Bloomfield Township's official website at www.bloomfieldtwpnj.com/260/Tax-Water-Payments, or contact the township's Tax Department directly at (973) 680-4049.”

“We understand the importance of accurate tax assessments and want to ensure that our residents receive the most precise information possible,” Mayor Michael Venezia said.

“By waiting for the certified tax rate, we can guarantee that taxpayers are billed correctly, alleviating any potential confusion or discrepancies,” Venezia added.
