Middletown Township first held this type of accelerated sale in December 2010. Prior to that, tax sales were typically held in April. Fourth quarter property taxes are now being sold in the same quarter that they are due. Unfortunately, the quick sale may catch some residents by surprise, and they could wind up with a costly tax lien on their properties.
If you have questions about the property taxes you owe, contact the tax collector’s office at 732-615-2086. If you have questions about sewer fees, call TOMSA at 732-495-1010.
