Perth Amboy property tax due dates and grace period
Perth Amboy follows New Jersey’s standard quarterly property-tax schedule. The City says tax bills are generally mailed twice per year: the February and May quarters are usually sent together in January, while the August and November quarters are usually sent together in July.
| Quarter | Regular due date | City grace-period rule |
|---|---|---|
| 1st quarter | February 1 | 10-day grace period |
| 2nd quarter | May 1 | 10-day grace period |
| 3rd quarter | August 1 | 10-day grace period |
| 4th quarter | November 1 | 10-day grace period |
The City states that each quarter has a 10-day grace period that includes the due date. If the 10th falls on a weekend or holiday, the grace period is automatically extended to the next business day.
What happens when Perth Amboy property taxes are late?
The City considers taxes delinquent when they are received after the applicable grace period. Its current guidance says delinquent taxes are charged annual interest at 8% on the first $1,500 of delinquency and 18% on amounts over $1,500, with interest accruing daily.
For payments on a delinquent account, the City says the payment is first applied to accrued interest and the remaining amount is applied to principal.
The City’s guidance directs taxpayers with delinquent accounts to call Tax Collection for the exact amount due.
Perth Amboy tax sale and municipal liens
The City explains that unpaid property taxes are charges against the property and that the Tax Collector conducts an annual tax sale to collect overdue municipal charges. The sale can include overdue property taxes and water or sewer charges together with accrued interest and sale-related costs.
Perth Amboy says its tax sale is scheduled in December each year. Before the sale, the affected property list is published in The Star-Ledger and property owners are notified. According to the City’s guidance, the full amount due must be paid before the sale date to keep the property from being included in the sale.
Property tax relief for Perth Amboy residents
New Jersey property-tax relief is generally administered through the State rather than through the Perth Amboy Tax Collector. The City’s current 2026 relief notice directs residents to the combined PAS-1 application covering Senior Freeze, ANCHOR and Stay NJ.
State reimbursement program for qualifying seniors and certain Social Security Disability recipients.
State property-tax relief for eligible New Jersey homeowners and renters.
State property-tax relief program for eligible New Jersey senior homeowners.
Perth Amboy residents who need help with the combined application can contact the Perth Amboy Office on Aging at 732-826-1690, according to the City’s current relief notice.
Senior or disabled $250 deduction recipients
The City also publishes a separate post-tax statement requirement for recipients of the $250 Senior Citizen or Permanently Disabled deduction. It says the PD5 annual statement is mailed in January and must be completed and returned to the Tax Collector by March 1 to confirm continued eligibility. Failure to file can result in the deduction being charged back for that year.
Common Perth Amboy tax payment problems
Check whether the installment is delinquent and call for a current payoff if interest may have accrued.
