Three Ways To Pay Your May 1 Middletown Property Taxes

MIDDLETOWN, NJ — On Tuesday, April 28 Gov. Phil Murphy signed this new law that allows New Jersey towns to extend the grace period for property tax payments to June 1 this year.

Prior to passing the extension Tuesday, second-quarter property taxes were due on May 1, with a grace period date of May 11. The new grace period now gives New Jersey homeowners until June 1.

This extension provides "much-needed relief to homeowners struggling financially as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic," said Murphy.

You still cannot make Middletown tax payments in person. And the Middletown Tax Collection Office, located at Croydon Hall (900 Leonardville Road, Leonardo), is closed to the public until further notice.

So, here are three ways you can pay your property taxes to the Township:

1. Mail: You can mail your payment to the Township of Middletown, 1 Kings Highway, Middletown, NJ 07748. Please do not mail payments to Croydon Hall.

2. Drop box at Croydon Hall: For your convenience, tax payments can be placed in the drop box at Croydon Hall. This box is located by the door that faces the playground and is checked daily.

3. Online: You can pay your taxes online through the Township website by visiting https://www.middletownnj.org/278/Tax-Collection or click HERE <https://www.cit-e.net/middletown-nj/cit-e-access/TaxBill_Std/?TID=63&TPID=6455%20%29> to access the Township’s payment portal.

Please note there is a third-party fee if paying by credit card but there is no charge if paying by check. Visit www.middletownnj.org/taxcollection for updates.
