2007 3rd Quarter Tax Bills Mailed
Estimated tax bills for the 3rd quarter of 2007 were mailed on 06/01/2007. Please be advised this is an ACTUAL bill due by August 1. Although the tax rate has not been set for the 2007 budget year yet, all taxpayers are responsible to make a quarterly payment. If you received a bill that says ADVICE Copy Do Not Pay it means our records indicate a bank or mortgage company is making payments from an escrow account on your behalf. If this is not the case you will be responsible for making the payment yourself.

National Geomatica

The Borough has invested in a Geographic Information System (GIS) that will provide many benefits to the borough and to our residents. The GIS combines a detailed series of digital maps of the borough with a database that contains every element of information associated with every piece of property in the borough. By doing so, we can look at an individual parcel of property in terms of its physical location and geographic characteristics as well as in terms of all the information associated with the parcel as it pertains to the administration of the borough (tax, zoning, construction applications, pets, health and safety, public works, and more.)
