Essex County · North Jersey
In Newark, property taxes are billed and collected by the Revenue Collections office within the city's Department of Finance, which also carries out enforcement when taxes go unpaid. Newark's own FAQ explains that taxes or charges left over from a prior year go to the annual tax sale, and that it can also hold an accelerated sale for current-year taxes still unpaid after the November due date. The city applies partial payments to the oldest quarter owed first.
