PRINCETON: Late changes to school funding by the state will delay tax bills

By Philip Sean Curran, Staff Writer
Third quarter tax bills in Princeton will be mailed later than normal, with their due date pushed back to the middle of next month, Mayor Liz Lempert said Tuesday.
She said the delay was attributed to some “last-minute changes” to school funding by the state, which meant a final tax rate could not be struck until Tuesday.
She said the 10,000 bills would be mailed next week and be due 25 days from the date that they are sent. She did not know what day they will go out.
Normally, tax bills for the quarter are due Aug. 1, but taxpayers will have a little longer to pay them this year.
“So at this point,” she said, “we’re looking at some time in mid-August as the due date.”
