There is also an after-hours drop box to the left of the main entrance. Please note that City Hall is closed for both Election Day on November 5th and Veteran’s Day on November 11th.

FAQ: Does the City of Asbury Park hold an accelerated tax sale and how does it work?
The City of Asbury Park is an accelerated tax sale municipality.
It is the obligation of the tax collector to collect all property taxes, sewer and other municipal charges in the year that they are due. This helps greatly reduce the reserve for uncollected taxes, helping to curtail future municipal tax increases.
As a courtesy, the Tax Collector mails delinquent “reminder” notices for the first 3 quarters of the year. This is not possible after the 4th quarter because State law requires all delinquencies are immediately scheduled for an accelerated tax sale at the conclusion of the grace period. This information is also printed on all tax bills.
To avoid the tax sale list, property owners must pay all municipal charges in full by the last day of the grace period on November 12th.
Starting November 13th, any properties with delinquencies will be scheduled for the accelerated tax sale. The date of the accelerated tax sale will be announced and is usually in mid-December. The tax sale list will be published in a local newspaper.
Starting November 13th, a tax sale cost of $65-$150 is added to each delinquent account as required by state law and cannot be waived. The fee includes a 2% cost of sale charge, with the minimum $15 and maximum $100, and the cost of 2 tax sale mailings at $25 each. (N.J.S.A. 54:5-38, N.J.S.A. 54:5-26)
