Your Taxes

An important change to tax collection procedures has occurred. 

Mr. Tom Murphy was elected Tax Collector during the general election.  He has assumed all responsibilities for local tax collection that used be done by the Borough Office.  As such, your taxes are due and payable to his office and not the Borough Office or drop box.  The Borough Office assumes NO liability for tax payments left in the drop box after 12/31/2009.
