Tax Lien Warning
⛔ Texas Attorney Fee Warning: After July 1, delinquent property taxes are referred to a collection attorney. An additional 15–20% attorney fee is added on top of your penalty and interest. On a $5,000 tax bill, this adds $750–$1,000 instantly. Pay before July 1 to avoid this.

Quarterly dates
Feb. 1 · May 1 · Aug. 1 · Nov. 1.
Current August 2026 check:
Under the Township’s standard August 1 due date and 10-day grace rule, the normal third-quarter grace window has already passed as of August 13, 2026. If Q3 is unpaid, open WIPP for the current balance/interest or call the Tax Office before sending an old coupon amount.
Fast decision
Which Union NJ tax task are you trying to finish?
1
Pay or check a bill
Use WIPP for property-tax or sewer bill status, current bill viewing and the Township-linked interest calculation.
2
Check value, owner or assessment
Use the Township Assessor and county land-record tools rather than the payment office.
3
Your bill says Hunterdon, Union City or PA
Skip the Union County payment portal and use the municipality-routing section below.

Each section answers a different real taxpayer task.
Official WIPP workflow
How to view or pay a Union NJ tax or sewer bill
The Township Tax Office links directly to WIPP ID 2019 for taxes and sewer bills, current bill viewing and interest calculation.
Confirm the municipality first
Look for Township of Union, Union County, 1976 Morris Avenue and the official UnionTownship.com Tax Office link before opening the payment processor.
Open the Township-linked WIPP portal
Use the municipal link rather than an ad, search result or another “Union Township” portal.
Identify the correct account
Use the property details available on your bill—such as owner, property location, block/lot or account information—to identify the intended record.
Separate tax from sewer
The Tax Office collects both, but mortgage escrow that pays property tax does not automatically mean the sewer utility bill was paid.
Check quarter, year and late interest
Make sure the amount belongs to February, May, August or November and to the correct year. If it is late, use WIPP’s current calculation instead of an old coupon amount.
Review the final processor screen
Check the payment method, amount and any convenience fee displayed by the live processor before authorizing the transaction.
Save proof until the account updates
Keep the confirmation, payment date, property/account details and bank/card record. Recheck the account before assuming the payment posted.

Payment-posting disputes
Property recently sold?
A WIPP account, assessment record and deed index answer different questions. If ownership recently changed, confirm the recorded deed through Union County and ask the Assessor about the municipal ownership record while still monitoring the tax bill so a transfer delay does not create a missed payment.
Tax Office says payment must be physically received by 4:30 for that day’s credit.
Tuesday
8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.
Use the 4:30 cutoff.
Wednesday
8:30 a.m.–8:00 p.m.
Do not assume tax-payment processing continues until 8 p.m. The Tax Office publishes a 4:30 same-day cutoff.
Thursday
8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.
Use the 4:30 cutoff.
Friday
8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.
Use the 4:30 cutoff.
Wednesday trap:
Town Hall’s facility listing extends to 8 p.m., but the Tax Office states that tax payments must be physically received when the office closes at 4:30 to be credited that day. Call before relying on any after-4:30 tax-counter availability.
Useful phone script
“I’m calling about the Township of Union property at [address], block/lot or account [number]. I need to confirm [the current balance / whether payment posted / the correct quarter / a sewer balance / tax-sale status].”
Quarterly deadlines
Union NJ property-tax due dates, grace period and cutoff
February 1 — first-quarter tax
Use the current account and do not assume a missing mailed bill delays the due date.
May 1 — second-quarter tax
Confirm mortgage escrow posting early if a lender is responsible.
August 1 — third-quarter tax
Under the standard 10-day grace rule, the normal August 2026 grace window is already past as of August 13.
November 1 — fourth-quarter tax
If paying by mail or drop box, remember that postmark does not count as proof of timely payment.
10-day grace period
The Township publishes a 10-day grace period. Treat it as a safety window, not a reason to wait until the final afternoon.
No-postmark rule
The Township states that New Jersey does not permit postmarks as proof of payment. Physical receipt by the Tax Office controls.
4:30 p.m. matters:
A mailed payment with an earlier postmark or a drop-box payment placed after 4:30 may not receive the credit date you expected. Near the end of a grace period, use a traceable route and verify the posted account afterward.
24/7 payment option
Use the Morris Avenue tax drop box safely
The Township encourages residents to use the drop-off box on the Town Hall front door facing Morris Avenue. The box is accessible 24/7, but same-day credit has a separate timing rule.
Use check or money order; never put cash in the box
Identify the property/account and bill type clearly
Include the payment stub when available
Separate property-tax and sewer instructions if paying both
Deposit before 4:30 p.m. business day for same-day credit
Keep a copy/photo of the check or money order
Do not leave cash.
The Township specifically warns residents not to put cash in the drop box.
Mortgage escrow
What if your mortgage company should pay the Union NJ tax bill?
A monthly escrow charge is not proof that the Township received the quarterly payment. Verify the actual disbursement and the municipal account separately.
Check the lender’s escrow transaction history
Look for an actual municipal tax disbursement, not merely the monthly escrow contribution.
Check the Township tax account
Confirm whether the intended quarter shows as paid before the grace period expires.
Ask the lender for trace details if it is missing
Request payment date, check or electronic reference, amount, and the property/block-lot information used.
Contact the Tax Office with both records
Provide the municipal account details plus lender proof so staff can research a missing or misapplied payment.
Check sewer separately
Do not assume a mortgage escrow company pays the sewer utility bill just because it pays property tax.
Troubleshooting
Missing bill, payment not posted or amount looks wrong?
No bill arrived
Do not wait. The Township says failure to receive the bill does not excuse the tax or delinquent interest. View the account and call the Tax Office.
Payment is not showing
Keep confirmation/bank proof and ask the Tax Office to research it before making a duplicate payment.
Amount is higher after deadline
Use WIPP’s current interest calculation or ask the Collector for the updated balance rather than paying the old coupon.
Assessed value looks wrong
Contact the Assessor; the Collector cannot change the assessed value.
Owner name is stale after closing
Check the recorded deed with Union County and ask the Assessor about the municipal property record while still protecting the tax deadline.
Sewer balance is unexpected
Confirm whether the account is sewer rather than property tax and whether escrow was ever responsible for that utility bill.

Collector and Assessor responsibilities
Your question
Office
Why
How much do I owe / did my payment post?
Tax Collector
Bills, collections and payment status.
What is the sewer balance?
Tax Collector
The Tax Office collects sewer utility bills.
Can interest be removed?
Tax Collector for balance explanation
The Township says the Collector has no statutory authority to waive interest.
Is my assessed value correct?
Tax Assessor
The Assessor determines assessed value.
Owner / property record is wrong
Tax Assessor
Assessment and property-record maintenance.
Veteran / senior / disabled deduction
Tax Assessor
Municipal deduction/exemption applications and eligibility.
The Township Assessor page links municipal deduction forms, but New Jersey’s current 2026 state-relief system has changed from older “rebate” terminology. Use current NJ Treasury guidance for application status and deadlines.
$250 senior / disabled deduction
New Jersey may allow an annual $250 deduction for qualifying seniors, disabled persons and certain surviving spouses. The state says Form PTD and proof can be filed with the local assessor or collector; eligible recipients file annual PD5 verification by March 1 to maintain it.
The Township Assessor provides veteran/surviving-spouse deduction forms and a separate 100% disabled-veteran or surviving-spouse exemption form. Eligibility is not created by simply paying the current bill.
2025 relief application
New Jersey’s current filing deadline for the 2025 property-tax relief application is November 2, 2026. Current state programs include Senior Freeze, ANCHOR and Stay NJ.
PAS-1 micro-help:
NJ Treasury says seniors age 65+ and Social Security/Railroad Retirement disability recipients use the combined PAS-1 for Senior Freeze, ANCHOR and Stay NJ where eligible. Property details such as county/municipality code, block/lot/qualifier and tax amounts may be needed—your tax bill and local records help supply those fields.
Do not subtract relief from the municipal bill yourself.
A deduction, exemption or state benefit has its own approval and payment process. Keep paying the amount currently billed unless the official account or responsible office tells you otherwise.
If you disagree with the assessed value, payment is not the appeal
New Jersey says property owners can appeal an assessment to the County Board of Taxation. The standard filing deadline is April 1; where a municipal revaluation or reassessment has occurred, the deadline is May 1. Properties assessed above $1 million also have a direct State Tax Court option.
2026 timing:
As of August 13, the normal April 1 (and standard reassessment May 1) appeal dates have passed. Added assessments and other special notices can have different appeal periods, so use the date printed on the notice rather than assuming next April applies.
Do not withhold the tax payment merely because you disagree with value
Gather assessment notice, property details and evidence of value
Use the Union County/NJ appeal route, not the Collector payment desk
Read the deadline on any added-assessment or special notice
The Township says the Collector must follow New Jersey statutes for delinquent taxes and has no statutory authority to reduce the tax or waive interest. That makes an exact current balance more useful than a generic penalty calculator.
Identify the unpaid quarter and bill type
Confirm whether the problem is property tax or sewer and whether it belongs to February, May, August or November.
Get the current interest amount
Use the Township-linked WIPP calculation or call the Tax Office. Do not send an old face amount after the grace period.
Keep traceable proof
Retain online confirmation, check image, money-order receipt, correspondence and any lender proof.
Use only the newest official tax-sale instructions
Tax-sale notices are date-sensitive. Do not rely on an old PDF, copied list or another Union municipality’s sale notice.
No homemade late-fee calculator here.
The live municipal account is the safer source because interest and collection status depend on the actual account and payment date.
Search-intent disambiguation
Wrong Union? Hunterdon County, Union City and Pennsylvania are different
Union Township — Hunterdon County NJ
This is a different municipality. Its Tax Collector page lists Colleen Dolan, CTC, phone
908-735-8027 ext. 11,
and a separate payment system.
Current Aug. 2026 note:
Hunterdon’s Union Township extended its August 1 third-quarter grace period to August 17, 2026. That extension does not apply to the Township of Union in Union County.
“Union Township PA” is not one unique office; multiple Pennsylvania counties have municipalities with that name. Use the county and municipality printed on the Pennsylvania bill instead of this New Jersey page.
Do not guess:
A PA bill should never be paid through the Township of Union NJ WIPP portal.
