Pay, Search or Verify a Brick Tax Account
Use this guide to find the correct Brick property-tax record, understand the HLS inquiry screen, pay through Paymentus, confirm office details, or fix a lien, interest, assessment or tax-record problem.
The safest order is lookup first, verify the property and tax status, then pay. A wrong municipal portal or wrong parcel can create a much harder problem than a slow search.

Paymentus property-tax route
2025 rates vary by fire district
Choose the task you actually need
Search the parcel first, confirm total due and tax-sale status, then open Paymentus.
Use HLS for live tax-account data; use Ocean County records for assessment and property-detail research.
Stop before normal online payment and ask the Collector for a payoff or redemption calculation.
Search the live Brick property-tax account first
The HLS inquiry is the most useful starting point when you need a balance, interest, payment history, lien status or the correct parcel before paying.
| Search | Use when | Micro-help |
|---|---|---|
| Account number | You have a tax bill or prior receipt. | Enter the account exactly as shown; this is usually the fastest route. |
| Block / Lot / Qualifier | You have NJ parcel information from a deed, closing file or assessment record. | Useful when owner names changed after a sale. |
| Owner name | You know the taxpayer but not the parcel number. | Try a shorter surname search if punctuation or initials prevent a match. |
| Property location | You know the street address. | If exact formatting fails, shorten the street entry rather than adding more fields. |
How to read the HLS result without paying the wrong amount
| Field / tab | What it tells you | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Principal / Interest / Total Due | Separates base tax from accrued interest and current displayed total. | Use the current total for normal account review; call for a time-sensitive payoff when delinquent. |
| Yearly Summary | Land, improvement, net taxable, billed, paid and balance by year. | Check whether you are looking at the intended tax year. |
| Details | Quarter, due/transaction date, billed, paid, open balance, days, interest and payment source. | Use it to troubleshoot a missing quarter or escrow payment. |
| Liens | Certificate number, sale date, certificate amount, subsequent charges, open balance, lien holder and status. | Do not treat this as a normal quarterly Paymentus transaction. |
| Mod IV | Property class, zoning, land/improvement value, deductions, fire district, deed and sale information. | Use it to identify the property; valuation disputes go to the Assessor. |
| Pending Taxsale | Principal, interest, costs, mailing fee and displayed total due for tax-sale status. | Call the Collector for accepted funds and a current payoff. |
Brick NJ Tax Collector WIPP: use the Brick HLS system instead
WIPP is used by some New Jersey municipalities, which is why it appears in tax-collector searches. For Brick Township, the live account inquiry verified here is HLS Systems and the payment processor is Paymentus.
Use HLS for balance, interest, payments, liens, Mod IV and pending tax-sale information.
Use Paymentus only after you have matched the correct Brick parcel and current amount.

Brick property-tax due dates and grace-period safety
New Jersey law sets the standard calendar-year municipal installments for February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1.
Use the Collector for money; use the Assessor for value and records
| Your question | Start here | Why |
|---|---|---|
| How much do I owe? | Tax Collector / HLS | Balance, interest and payment status. |
| Did my payment post? | Tax Collector | Collection account and receipt research. |
| Why is my assessed value high? | Tax Assessor | Assessment and classification. |
| Is the owner/property record wrong? | Tax Assessor | Assessment-roll and property-record data. |
| How do I appeal an assessment? | Assessor / Ocean County Board of Taxation | Formal appeals are not payment disputes. |
| What is my Block/Lot/Qualifier? | HLS / Ocean County records | Both can identify the parcel; use the source that fits your task. |
Brick tax rate is not one number for every property
The latest complete Brick HLS rate table currently displayed is for 2025. The total rate varies by fire district, so using one flat “Brick tax rate” can be wrong.
| Fire district | Total rate | Fire-district component | Practical note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2.714 | 0.050 | Check the HLS Mod IV fire-district field before using this rate. |
| 2 | 2.742 | 0.078 | Same county/school/municipal components, different fire rate. |
| 3 | 2.750 | 0.086 | Do not substitute a generic 2.664 figure from an older or simplified source. |
ANCHOR, Senior Freeze and Stay NJ are separate from paying Brick taxes
New Jersey’s property-tax relief programs can reduce eligible households’ net burden, but an application does not replace Brick’s quarterly payment schedule.
November 2, 2026 for the current NJ property-tax relief application cycle.
The combined PAS-1 route can be used for Senior Freeze, ANCHOR and Stay NJ eligibility.
Most eligible under-65 filers may have ANC-1 auto-filed; check the state confirmation rather than assuming it happened.
Brick tax-sale and lien accounts need a current payoff
The HLS inquiry includes dedicated Liens and Pending Taxsale tabs because these accounts are not the same as an ordinary quarterly bill.
Duplicate bills, verification requests and redemption calculations
| Request | Brick code amount | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Duplicate tax bill | $5 each | Useful when you need a replacement bill rather than a live balance screen. |
| Tax-payment verification item | $0.50 per item | Applies to requested verification of tax payments under the municipal code. |
| Redemption calculations | First 2 in a calendar year: no cost | For a party entitled to redeem a certificate. |
| Each subsequent redemption calculation | $50 | Request must be made in writing to the Tax Collector. |
| Lienholder redemption calculation | $50 | Separate statutory route for lienholders. |
Use online tax records before filing an OPRA request
Start with HLS or the Tax Collector. An OPRA request is usually unnecessary for information already exposed in the tax system.
Use Ocean County Tax List Search or the Assessor first. County records can show block/lot, owner, property class, assessment history, deed and sale information.
