Section 5:33-1.8 - Use of replacement bills

(a) Replacement bills must contain property identification information, the amount of tax due, and indication of which quarterly installment is being paid for each parcel. It may be an individually printed bill with a stub, a printed listing of many bills, or many bills transferred via magnetic media or transmitted through electronic means. If printed individually, it must contain a stub that is at least six square inches in size and include the information detailed above.

(b) Individually printed replacement tax bills may be used under the following conditions:

1. For the first payment on the tax bill if the tax collector is unable to, or fails to, issue or mail an original or duplicate tax bill 15 calendar days prior to the statutory due date for that payment, or a later date set by the governing body at which time the full interest penalty for late payments shall begin to accrue, whichever is later;

2. For other quarters if a formal request for a duplicate or original tax bill is not fulfilled within 15 calendar days from the time the tax collector receives the request; or

3. For other quarters when specifically permitted by the tax collector.

(c) The tax collector may permit non-individually printed replacement bills to be used for payment periods other than the first payment period. Such determination shall be made solely by the tax collector.

(d) When a payment is made with a replacement bill, if not previously forwarded, the tax collector shall forward the original bill or a duplicate tax bill, without charge, when the original tax bill was not properly issued by the tax collector. The tax collector shall send the original or duplicate tax bill, as the case may be, to the payor so the subsequent tax payments can be paid in a timely manner.
