Moorestown Residents Urged To Pay Taxes Online: Officials

MOORESTOWN, NJ — Moorestown officials are urging residents to make tax, water and sewer payments online as of Sunday afternoon.

"We encourage people to use the online payment system located on the Township’s website under the Tax Collector department webpage," officials said in a statement. "Also, people can use the mail drop box located on the face of the building to the right of town hall front doors."

The announcement came after officials released a list of closings and cancellations in an effort to stem the spread of new coronavirus. Access throughout town hall will be restricted, and anyone who must come into town hall should visit the clerk's office first, officials said. To conduct business via phone, call 856-235-0912.
