Important Reminder: Postmark Law Update
Attention Middlesex Township taxpayers:
Please be aware that new postmark laws are now in effect for tax payments.
• Payments are considered timely only if they are postmarked by the due date
• Metered mail dates are NOT accepted as proof of timely mailing
• If your envelope does not have a valid USPS postmark, it may be considered late
IMPORTANT (April 28–April 30):
If you are mailing your payment during the final days of the discount period (4/28–4/30), you must take your payment inside the post office and request a hand-stamped postmark at the counter.
Dropping it in a mailbox is not guaranteed to receive a qualifying postmark in time.
To avoid penalties:
• Mail early and allow time for USPS processing
• Or consider paying in person or online (if available)
My goal is always to help you avoid unnecessary penalties and keep this process as smooth as possible.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
