According to officials, the purpose of this extension allows residents who are affected by these tenuous economic times additional time to pay taxes for this quarter.

"Though we encourage those who are able to meet the May 1 deadline, this grace period extension lessons the burden on those residents that are most economically affected by the pandemic," they said in a statement.

The Morristown Tax Office located at Town Hall, 200 South Street will be open to accept Tax payments (only) every Monday and Friday from 9 a.m. to noon beginning on April 24 thru June 1. For those who chose that option, physical distancing is required and must be maintained. No one will be admitted without a face mask or covering.

Residents also have several options to pay their taxes:

• They can pay their bill online through a webportal.
• Utilize the Morristown Tax Drop Box located on the right rear door. Payments must be checks or money order and be received with stubs.
• Regular mail: Town of Morristown Tax Office, PO BOX 431, Morristown NJ 07963-043
