Tax Bill Mailing Update - Updated 7/24/26
The 2026 tax rate has been received, and the 2026 final property tax bills have now been calculated.
We are currently waiting for our tax bill printing vendor to print the bills and deliver them to us for mailing. We anticipate that bills will be mailed by August 6, 2026.
In the meantime, residents can view their tax billing and make online payments by visiting our website at bernardsville.gov or directly at EdmundsGovPay.com/Bernardsville
The grace period for the 3rd quarter tax payment has been extended through August 31, 2026. Payments received after August 31, 2026 will be subject to interest reverting back to the original due date of August 1st.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
The Tax Department is responsible for the billing, collection, reporting, and enforcement of taxes within the municipality. In addition, we also bill, collect, and report sewer user fees for the properties connected to the public sewer.
