Tax Collector Duties:

The Tax Collector is responsible for the billing, collection, reporting and enforcement of municipal taxes for the Township of Woolwich. Woolwich Township is a Calendar Year Municipality; our budget year runs from January 1st through December 31st. In New Jersey, the local municipality is the conduit for billing and collecting taxes due for the general County tax, County Library tax, County Open Space tax, and the Local District School tax, as well as the Local Purpose tax. Only the Local Municipal Purpose tax is kept by Woolwich Township for operational expenses.

The State of New Jersey law requires the local municipality to pay 100% of the taxes due to the County and Schools quarterly. The municipality absorbs any shortfall in the amount of taxes not collected because of delinquent properties.
