The Township is awaiting the County's certification of the 2026 tax rate and cannot calculate final tax amounts until it is received. As a result, the mailing of tax bills is delayed. The standard 10-day grace period will be extended, and the revised deadline will be printed on your tax bill. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
