Use the Tax Office for payment
Pay property taxes, pay sewer utility bills, view current tax bill, calculate interest, ask about delinquent payment, confirm payment posting, request receipt help and ask about tax sale notices.
Use the Assessor for value
The assessed value is determined by the Tax Assessor. If the value, assessment, ownership, exemption or record detail is wrong, start with the Assessor instead of the Collector.
Use state programs for relief
Senior Freeze, veteran deduction, disabled veteran exemption and other property tax relief programs have separate eligibility rules and state contact paths.
Simple routing rule
If you are trying to pay or prove payment, use the Tax Office. If you are trying to lower the assessed value or correct the record, use the Assessor. If you are trying to get relief, deduction or reimbursement, review the Tax Deduction Programs page and New Jersey program rules.

That means the bill lookup step is not just a convenience. It helps prevent wrong-quarter payments, sewer-versus-tax confusion, late-interest mistakes and payments made to a wrong Union Township portal.

Use the property owner, address, block/lot or account information shown on your bill. If your property recently transferred, try prior owner details if needed.
Confirm the bill type
Property taxes and sewer utility bills are both collected through the Tax Office, but they are not the same bill. Confirm which one you are paying.

New Jersey property taxes are quarterly. Make sure you are paying the correct quarter: February, May, August or November.
Verify before payment
- Owner name
- Property address
- Block, lot or account detail if shown

- Quarter and year
- Interest amount if late
If the bill looks wrong
- Call the Tax Office for payment/bill status.

What “received by 4:30” means
The official Tax Office page says all payments must physically be in the Tax Office when it closes at 4:30 in order to be credited that day. For drop box payments, the page says payments must be in the drop box before 4:30 PM of that business day to be credited the same day.

- Do not wait until the final grace-period afternoon.
- Save receipt or screenshot.
High-risk payment timing

Union NJ Tax Drop-Off Box: 24/7 Location and Same-Day Credit Rule
The Township encourages residents to use the Tax Drop-Off Box located on the Town Hall front door facing Morris Avenue. The box is open 24/7, but cash should not be placed in the box.
The drop box is useful when you want a contactless payment method or cannot visit during office activity. But it does not remove the timing rule. For same-day credit, the official page says payments must be in the drop box before 4:30 PM of that business day.
Use the drop box for
Check or money order payments when you can clearly identify the property, bill type, quarter and account. Include the payment stub if available.
Do not put cash
The Township specifically says not to put cash in the drop box. Use a traceable payment method and keep your own records.
After 4:30 PM
A payment placed in the drop box after 4:30 PM may not be credited that same business day. This matters near grace-period deadlines.
Drop box checklist
- Write the property block/lot or account details on the check memo if useful.
- Include the payment stub when available.
- Do not place cash in the box.
- Use an envelope with property and contact information.
- Take a photo of the check and envelope for your own record.
- Confirm posting later if payment was deadline-sensitive.
Pay Union NJ Sewer Utility Bill Without Confusing It With Property Tax
The Township of Union Tax Office also collects sewer utility bills. The official Tax Office page links to payment access for both taxes and sewer bills.
A common user mistake is assuming every township bill is a property tax bill. Sewer charges may have different billing timing, account details and payment references. When using WIPP or township payment links, confirm whether you are paying property tax or sewer utility before submitting.
Property tax bill
Quarterly property tax bills are due February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1 with a 10-day grace period.
Sewer utility bill
Sewer utility bills are collected by the Tax Office but should be treated as a separate bill type in payment records.
Before paying
Check the bill type, account, property location, due date, current balance and interest if late. Do not pay sewer money to a property-tax quarter by mistake.

The official Assessor page lists Kevin Palumbo as Township Assessor. Office: 908-851-8505. Email: kpalumbo@uniontownship.com. Address: 1976 Morris Ave., Union, NJ 07083.
Important value-dispute warning
The Tax Collector has no statutory authority to reduce a tax or waive interest charges. If the issue is assessed value, exemption status or property record correction, contact the Assessor early and still protect your payment deadline.
Union NJ Property Tax Relief, Senior Freeze, Veteran Deduction and Exemption Help
Property tax relief programs are not the same as paying the tax bill. Some programs are handled through the Township Assessor, county/state tax appeal routes, or New Jersey Division of Taxation programs.
The Township Assessor page links to municipal tax deduction programs, including veteran and widow of veteran deduction, senior citizen/disabled/surviving spouse deduction, and 100% disabled veteran or surviving spouse exemption documents. It also points residents to New Jersey property tax relief resources such as Senior Freeze.
Veteran deduction
Use official Township deduction forms and Assessor guidance to confirm eligibility, proof requirements and filing method.
Senior / disabled deduction
Senior citizen, disabled and surviving spouse deductions have separate eligibility rules. Do not assume qualification without reviewing the official form.
Senior Freeze / tax reimbursement
New Jersey Senior Freeze and property tax reimbursement programs are state-level programs with residency, income and payment requirements.
Micro-level reminder
A tax deduction or relief application does not automatically stop quarterly due dates. If your relief application is pending, ask whether you still need to pay the current bill while the application is being reviewed.
Union NJ Delinquent Taxes, Interest, Tax Sale and Late Payment Help
The Tax Office follows New Jersey statutes for delinquent tax payments, interest, reporting and tax sale procedures. The Collector cannot reduce a tax or waive interest charges.
If your account is late, do not guess the amount based only on the original bill. Interest may apply after the grace period, and sewer or other municipal charges can create additional confusion. Use the official payment system to calculate interest or call the Tax Office before mailing a payment.
Interest after grace period
If payment is not received within the grace period, interest can be due. The Collector cannot waive it simply because a bill was not received by mail.
Tax sale notices
The Tax Office page includes a Tax Sale link. If you receive a tax sale notice, verify directly with the Tax Office and follow official instructions.
Before paying late
Confirm tax year, quarter, sewer balance, interest, account number and accepted payment method before submitting money.
Look up the current amount
Use the WIPP link to view the current bill and calculate interest where available. If the account looks confusing, call the Tax Office.
Do not rely on postmark
New Jersey does not permit postmarks as proof of payment for this purpose. The payment must be physically received by the Tax Office by the cutoff.
Keep proof after payment
Save online confirmation, bank proof, copy of check, receipt, envelope photo or drop box documentation depending on how you paid.
What to Do if Your Mortgage Company Should Pay Your Union NJ Taxes
Mortgage escrow does not replace your need to verify the tax account. If your lender should pay, check the WIPP record before the grace period ends.
Check escrow statement
Look for actual disbursement activity, not just a monthly escrow charge. Your mortgage payment may include escrow even before the township receives money.
Check WIPP bill status
Verify whether the quarter shows paid, unpaid or interest due. If unpaid near deadline, contact your mortgage servicer immediately.
Document every call
Save lender representative names, dates, confirmation numbers and promised resolution times. Keep county/township proof after posting.
Do not ignore a bill just because escrow exists
If you receive a tax bill or delinquent notice, verify the official record. Escrow mistakes can happen during mortgage transfers, new loans, address changes and ownership changes.
