The Tax Collector’s office is responsible for billing and collecting taxes, sewer and drive-in sanitation payments. These charges are considered municipal liens on each property. Finance & Tax Office Amy Spera, CMFO, QPA Chief Financial Officer Michele Carnesi, CTC Tax Collector The Tax Collector’s office is responsible for billing and collecting taxes, sewer and drive-in sanitation payments. These charges are considered municipal liens on each property. The 2026 Tax Rate is $1.004 per $100 of assessed value. Online Payment Portal Direct Debit Authorization Form Understanding Your Taxes Intro Borough Schools County Where Does Your Tax Dollar Go? You receive your tax bill from the Borough of Rumson, so it is reasonable to assume the Borough controls all of the money it bills and collects. That is not how it works. New Jersey mandates Rumson's Municipal Tax Collector as the point of collection for property taxes levied in The Borough. Our responsibilities include: Sending you an annual tax bill. Receiving and processing your tax payment. Forwarding money collected to the other three taxing authorities; two school districts and Monmouth County. The Borough utilizes 20% of what is collected for annual Borough operations. This Means 80% of every dollar the Borough collects is passed through to the Rumson Elementary School, Rumson Fair Haven Regional High School, and Monmouth County. The remaining 20% (or 20 cents) of every dollar funds Borough Services and Operations. The total amount raised by taxes in Rumson rose by roughly $5.5 million between 2025 and 2026. The Borough's portion of the overall increase was approximately 10%. The remaining 90% of the increase came from budgets adopted independently by the two school districts and by Monmouth County. Distribution of Taxes Percentage Share 2026 Change Rumson School District 33% +8.1% RFHR High School 24% +9.9% Monmouth County 21% +11.8% Borough of Rumson 20% +3.8% Reserve for Uncollected 2% _______ Rumson reassesses every property, every year, under the Monmouth County Assessment Demonstration Program, and property values across The Borough increased over prior year. That said, each neighbourhood rose by a different amount. When the total value of The Borough goes up, the Annual Tax Rate rate comes down, but the amount The Borough is required to collect for each entity to operate is still collected. Where Does Your 20 Cents Go? Last week we reviewed that 80 cents of every tax dollar the Borough collects is forwarded to the two school districts and to Monmouth County. The Mayor and Borough Council adopts an annual municipal budget. The Borough of Rumson Municipal Budget is $23.9 Million, which funds all municipal services and captial improvements throughout the year, including: Police Department, dispatch and emergency management, 24 hours a day. Apparatus and equipment for our volunteer Fire Department and First Aid Squad. Department of Public Works, including curbside collection and disposal of leaf, brush, garbage and recycling, as well as storm response and snow removal. Infrastructure investments and improvements to our roads, parks, drainage, stormwater, and sanitary sewer systems. Collection, treatment and disposal of sanitary sewage throughout the municipality. Park, fields and court maintenance, as well as year round recreation programming. Administration, Finance and Tax, Building and Construction, Land Use, Engineering and Municipal Court services. In October 2025 the Borough learned the State Health Benefits Program was projecting a 35 percent increase for 2026. Working with employees and unions, Rumson left the State program and joined the NJ Solutions Joint Health Insurance Fund, saving employees and taxpayers approximately $400,000 in fiscal year 2026. Shared Service Agreements with other municipalities bring in an additional $556,877 in revenue. Rumson is the lead agency providing construction code services to Fair Haven and Little Silver, municipal court and fire prevention services to Fair Haven, and finance support to Sea Girt. Understanding The Schools' 57 Cents Together, the two school districts account for the largest share of your tax bill, more than The Borough and Monmouth County's portions combined. Each school district has its own elected Board of Education, its own Superintendent and its own annual budget. Each annual budget is adopted in late spring for the upcoming school year. The Borough collects both tax levies and forwards them directly to the schools throughout the school budget year. Rumson taxpayers will contribute $38.9 million to the two school districts for the 2026/2027 school year. Rumson School District Rumson's own district serves pre-kindergarten through eighth grade across two schools: Deane-Porter and Forrestdale. Residents of Rumson are the only funding source for this school district, so, residents fund the entire tax levy. Rumson-Fair Haven Regional School The Regional School District, located here in Rumson, operates a high school serving grades nine through 12, with students drawn from both Rumson and Fair Haven. Residents of Rumson and Fair Haven combine as the funding source for this regional school district's tax levy. The portion Rumson residents pay of the total levy is calculated by a standardized State funding formula based in part on total property values within each community. Recognizing Our Schools Forrestdale School was named a National Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of Education in 2024, one of only nine schools in New Jersey recognized that year. Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School ranks among the top public high schools in the State. Understanding The County's 21 Cents The final portion of your tax bill funds Monmouth County operations. Their budget is adopted by the Board of County Commissioners each year, and The Borough is responsible for collecting and remitting payment to Monmouth County. The total 2026 Monmouth County tax levy is $484.9 million, serving all 53 municipalities. Rumson's Share of The County Tax Levy Monmouth County adopts one budget for all 53 municipalities. The Monmouth County Board of Taxation then divides that total among the towns according to each town's share of total equalized property value across the county. Rumson taxpayers contribute about $14.1 million of the total tax levy, or roughly 21 cents of every dollar collected in taxes. What The County Levy Funds Three separate levies make up Rumson's portion of the total county levy: County Operations, County Open Space and County Library. Monmouth County services include: Roads and Bridges. County road and bridge maintenance, as well as the Monmouth County Engineering Department. Parks and Open Space. The Monmouth County Park System, plus a dedicated Open Space Trust that preserves farmland and undeveloped land throughout the County. More on this below. The County Library System. Funded by its own dedicated levy line on your bill. Public Safety. The Sheriff's Office, County Prosecutor, The correctional facility, The Medical Examiner, The Fire Marshal, The Police and Fire Academies and The Office of Emergency Management. Elections and Records. The County Clerk, Superintendent of Elections and Board of Elections conduct each election. The County Clerk holds the deed to your home, and the Surrogate handles estates and guardianships. Health and Human Services. Social Services, The Office on Aging, Veterans Services, The Office of Disabilities, behavioral health, public health and county transportation for seniors and residents with disabilities. Education. Brookdale Community College and the Monmouth County Vocational School District. Everyday Public Protection. Consumer Affairs, Weights and Measures, The Board of Taxation, and The Mosquito Control Commission. What The County Levy Funds Monmouth County Open Space is a separate, dedicated levy that appears as its own line on your tax bill solely funding land preservation, farmland protection and park development. It is also the single largest reason the County portion of your bill increased this year. The Open Space levy rose from $55.8 million in 2025 to $81.6 million in 2026, an increase of roughly 48 percent. This increase was approved by Monmouth County voters in 2025. Payments Payments may be placed in the drop box located in the main entrance of Borough Hall. Payments placed in the drop box after close of business will be posted on the next business day. The drop box is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Payments can be mailed to: Borough of Rumson, Tax Collection 80 East River Road Rumson, NJ 07760 Payments made through the mail will be posted to your account on the date received by the Finance & Tax Department, not the post-mark date. Payments can be made online (Service Fees will be added). In addition to the payment options listed above, you can enroll to have your payment withdrawn from your bank. There are no service fees for this option. However, you must be enrolled in this program approximately one month prior to the payment due date. Click here for the Direct Debit Authorization Enrollment Form . Tax Bills, Due Dates & Interest on Delinquencies Tax bills are normally mailed once a year; in July or August. The bill has four payment stubs, with the first payment being due on August 1st. Taxpayers are urged to read all information printed on the front and back of the tax bill. Failure to receive a tax bill does not exempt a property owner from paying the taxes and/or municipal liens when due. If you have not received a tax bill by the end of July, please contact this office. Quarterly Tax Payments February 1 May 1 August 1 November 1 The Mayor & Borough Council have resolved to waive interest on the payment of any installment of taxes if the payment is received within the “Grace Period,” which is the first 10 calendar days of each respective tax quarter. Additionally, if the 10th falls on a Saturday, Sunday or Borough Holiday, this deadline would be extended to the next business day. If there is a delay in mailing the final tax bills, the next quarterly installment may have an extended Grace Period. Any extension in the Grace Period will be noted on the tax bill. In order to be considered “on-time” and avoid interest being charged to your account, payments must be received by the Finance Department within the “Grace Period. If payment is not received within the Grace Period, interest is then calculated from the date when the payment was originally due (e.g., the first of the month) until the date of actual receipt of the payment. NOTE: Mailed payments will be posted as of the date the payment is received by the Finance & Tax Department, not the envelope's postmark date. Physical custody of your payment in this office determines receipt for our purposes. Tax & Municipal Sewer Due Dates and Grace Period end dates are noted on the Calendar of this Borough Website. Please keep in mind that we are unable to accept postdated checks. We must be able to post the payment to your account and deposit it on the day it is received. Any postdated checks will be returned to you, which could cause a delinquency and interest accruing on your account. If you bank online, check with your financial institution before scheduling a payment. Some financial institutions use a processing company that mails postdated checks. These online banking postdated checks will also be returned to the processing company. Interest will be calculated at 8% per annum on the first $1,500 and 18% per annum for any amount over $1,500 retroactive to the first of the month. A penalty of 6% will be charged on any delinquency (principal and interest due) in excess of $10,000 if not paid by the end of the fiscal year. Added Assessment Bills If improvements are made to your home, you may receive an “added assessment” bill in October. This bill must be paid IN ADDITION to your regular tax bill. If your mortgage company is paying your taxes and your mortgage company has notified us to code your property with their bank code, a copy of the added assessment bill will be mailed to them. However, since each mortgage company handles these bills differently, we recommend contacting your mortgage company to confirm they will be making payment in order to avoid paying interest on these taxes. Tax Bill Calculation Your tax bill is calculated based on the assessment of your property (which is set by the Tax Assessor on October 1st of the previous year) multiplied by the current year’s tax rate then divided by 100. The yearly bill is a combination of the Rumson Municipal, Monmouth County, Rumson Board of Education and Rumson Fair Haven Regional High School tax rates. These rates are established based upon each entity’s annual budget. The February and May tax payment amounts due are estimated and equate to one-half of the previous year’s total tax bill. The August and November payments due are based on the total taxes due for the year, less the 2 payments previously billed (February & May) to arrive at a balance due for the year; that balance is then divided into two quarterly payments (August & November). Receipts Payments requiring receipts must be accompanied by the entire tax bill and a self-addressed stamped envelope. Otherwise, detach the appropriate stub and mail with your payment to the Office of the Tax Collector. Your cancelled check will be your receipt. New Homeowners Tax bills are only mailed once a year and are not always transferred at closing. It is the new homeowner’s responsibility to obtain tax information. Contact our office for a copy of your current bill or access a copy through our online payment system. Tax Sale Any municipal lien remaining unpaid on the eleventh day of the eleventh month of the current fiscal year is subject to Tax Sale at anytime thereafter per N.J.S.A 54:5-19.
