Your tax bill is calculated based on the assessment of your property, which is set by the Tax Assessor on October 1st of the previous year, which is then multiplied by the current year’s tax rate. The yearly bill is a combination of the Municipal, Board of Education and County tax rates, which are set upon the adoption of each entity’s respective budget.

The February and May payments due for Property Taxes are estimated taxes and equate to ½ of the previous year’s total bill. The August and November bills are based on the total taxes due for the year less the payments made in February and May to come up with a balance due for the year that is then split into two quarterly payments.

The Tax Assessor is available on Mondays from 10:00am-11:30am by appointment (contact: assessor@belmar.com)
