Payment Policies
Bridgewater Township staff is not permitted or responsible to accept tax payments. Tax payments can only be mailed or submitted directly to the Tax Collector. The Bridgewater Township Tax Collector is an elected official.
Failure to receive your tax bill does not excuse you of your duty to pay taxes that are due. It is your responsibility to insure that all of your taxes are paid.
Please read your tax bill or check the website for the mailing address and/or times and dates to submit payments in person to the tax collector.
