The Readington Township Tax Collector’s Office will send you an email reminder approximately one (1) week prior to the due date to make your quarterly property tax and/or sewer payment. If you are interested, please send an email to Mbalogh@readington.gov and include your name, property location, and whether you would like a reminder for property taxes or sewer fees (or both). If you have any questions, please call the Tax Collector’s office at (908) 534-9761. Failure to receive an email reminder does not exempt you from paying property taxes/sewer fees or any interest due on past-due balances.
