PAYMENT INFORMATION

Tax payment due dates are August 1st, November 1st, February 1st, and May 1st.

Payments can be accepted online, in person, or by mail.  Checks should be made payable to the Borough of Surf City. If you are paying through your bank online, please include your Block and Lot as your account number. Please allow enough time for your bank to send the check to our office; this could take an estimated 7 to 10 business days. Payments must be received in our office by the 10th of the month to avoid interest.  If the 10th falls on a weekend or holiday, the next business day is the end of the grace period. Postmarks are not accepted.

For a receipt, send your stub with your check and a self-addressed stamped envelope.

For your convenience, a drop box for payments is located outside the main entrance of Borough Hall.  Be sure to put your payment and tax stub in a sealed envelope before placing it in the drop box.  

There is a return Check Fee of $20.00 for any check or draft returned unpaid for any reason. (Ordinance 2-60.5)
