pub.njleg.gov An installment unpaid after its date is delinquent and draws interest under N.J.S.A. 54:4-67 of up to 8% a year on the first $1,500 and 18% above that, plus a 6% year-end penalty on delinquencies over $10,000, although a municipality may allow a 10-day grace period.
New Jersey property tax is billed and collected county by county, so the collector — not the state — issues the bill. Counties and municipalities all use the same four statutory dates, though individual governing bodies may adopt a 10-day grace period and set interest at or below the statutory caps.
