WHEREAS, The Ocean County Board of Taxation is not able to certify Jackson Township’s tax rate as the State did not have an approved budget for CY 2021 as of June 24th, or has not approved the various local budgets to the County, and the Tax Collector may be unable to mail the Townships’ tax bills on a timely basis; and

WHEREAS, the Tax Collector in consultation with the Chief Financial Officer has computed an estimated tax levy in accordance with N.J.S.A. 54:4-66.3, and they have both signed a certification showing the tax levies and rates for the previous year, and the range of permitted estimated tax levies; and

WHEREAS, in accordance with Chapter 72, P.L. 1994, the Township does not need the Director of the Division of Local Government Services to approve the estimated tax levy when it falls between 95% & 105% listed below.

3. In accordance with law, the Third Installment taxes shall not be subject to interest until the later of August 10th or the twenty-fifth calendar day after the date the estimated tax bills are mailed.
