Haddonfield Property Taxes: November 2026 Payment, Grace Period and How to Pay

The fourth-quarter tax bill is due now. Here's the grace period, every way to pay, and what late costs.

By Live Haddonfield ยท

Haddonfield's fourth-quarter property tax payment was due Sunday, Nov. 1, and the borough gives a 10-day grace period. If yours isn't paid yet, this is your week. Here's how to pay, what it costs to pay online, and what happens if it lands late.

The rules, in plain English

The Tax Collector's office at Borough Hall says taxes are billed once a year and paid in four quarters: Feb. 1, May 1, Aug. 1 and Nov. 1. By resolution, Haddonfield allows a 10-day grace period. If the 10th day falls on a weekend or holiday, the grace period runs to the next business day.

Two things trip people up:

  • The money has to arrive. The borough says payments must be received by the end of the grace period. Postmarks don't count.
  • Late means interest back to Nov. 1. Miss the grace period and interest is charged from the original due date, not from day 11.

Not sure of your last day or amount? Call the office. Not getting a bill doesn't excuse the tax or the interest.

Ways to pay

  • Online. Use the borough's online payment system. Search by last name, address, block and lot, or account number. An electronic bank payment (ACH) costs a $1.95 convenience fee. Debit and credit cards cost 2.95% of the bill.
  • In person or the drop box. Borough Hall, 242 Kings Highway East. There's a black box out front for tax payments. The office takes cash or checks only.
  • By mail. Make checks out to the Borough of Haddonfield. Postdated checks aren't accepted.
  • Bank bill pay. Your bank mails a paper check, so allow 7 to 10 days for it to arrive. Don't start this on day nine.
  • Direct withdrawal. Fill out the borough's Direct Withdrawal Authorization and payments come out on each due date. Tell the office if you sell your home.

What late costs

Under state law, the borough charges 8% a year on the first $1,500 of a delinquency and 18% a year on anything above $1,500. Delinquencies over $10,000 that aren't paid by year end get a 6% year-end penalty. Pay on time and keep the money.

Help for seniors, veterans and people with disabilities

The borough's tax pages point to state programs: Senior Freeze, ANCHOR and Stay NJ for residents 65 and over or on Social Security disability, through a single combined application. Local deductions for seniors, surviving spouses, veterans and disabled residents are filed with the Tax Collector. Relief programs

For context: the 2026 rate

The borough's 2026 breakdown puts the total rate at 3.448 per $100 of assessed value, with schools at 57.54% of the levy. The average home is assessed at $542,895.66. Our math: that's about $18,700 a year, or roughly $4,680 a quarter. 2026 breakdown
