Sandyston Township offers a 10-grace period.
Tax payments received after the 10th of the month will be assessed interest calculated from the 1st of the quarter due.
Important, by Statute, the Tax Collector is unable to acknowledge postmarks - rather the date received by the municipality. There are various ways to be sure your tax payment is delivered on time:
- online payment
- ACH payment
- drop off in person
- droff off in drop box
If you choose to mail your payment, it could be late and assessed interest. Sandyston Township has no control over receipt of tax payments sent through the mail.
Municipal Drop Box
A municipal drop box (green) for your convenience s located to the left of the front door of the municipal building - secured to the building.
This drop box is checked regularly during the day and envelopes are removed and distributed to the proper departments.
Tax payments placed in the drop box after 2pm will not be processed until the next business day.

Authorization of Electronic Payments
May ACH payment will be pulled within the grace period of each quarter
We are pleased to announce that Sandyston Township is now offering **FREE ACH payments** with our new tax system! This convenient option allows you to automatically pay your taxes without the hassle of remembering deadlines or worrying about late fees. To enroll, simply fill out the form on our website and bring to the Tax Collector with a voided check, and your payment will be automatically pulled within the grace period of each quarter.
This is the perfect stress-free option to ensure your taxes are paid on time. This is also a great option to those taxpayers with multiple properties. No more logging in every quarter to make an online payment—it will be done for you! For those who still prefer the online payment option, it is still available, but please note that fees apply to each block and lot, as the shopping cart feature is not yet enabled.
If interested, please print this form and follow the instructions.
If you have any questions, feel free to give me a call at **973-948-3520 ext. 202**. We look forward to helping you take advantage of this new service!
Is There A Tax Lien on a Parcel?

You can also email the Tax Collector at [email protected]
Change of Ownership
Tax bills should be given to the new owner or his paying agent, upon closing.
Please be advise, the Sussex County Clerk's Office records all deeds in Sussex County and advises the Tax Assessor of all changes. Once notified, the Tax Assessor updates the MOD-V reflecting a change of ownership in our system. Please note, due to the abundance of home sales in Sussex County, the recording of deeds is behind and it could take several months to see this change show up in our system.
Thank you for your patience.
Change of Address Requests
Address changes must be submitted in writing by the property owner (email Tax Assessor or email Municipal Clerk, fax (973-948-0783), or mail).
It is always best to follow up with the Tax Assessor/Municipal Clerk to be sure your request has been received and to verify that you did in fact request this change.
