Failure to receive a bill does not in any way affect the due date of the tax or penalty prescribed by law. (RPT 922). If you no longer own the property listed, please call the tax office. If you have an escrow account, forward the bill to your mortgage company. Finally, we cannot accept partial payments of installments.
