Please be advised: From November 4th – November 14th the Clerk/ Vital Statistics office will be CLOSED.  All records requests (OPRA) & Vital Record requests will be received/processed starting on November 16th

Re-assessment Notices:

Residents should start receiving a notice from the City regarding your new home assessment value. Letters should start arriving Friday, November 6th, 2026.

Property owners will have an opportunity to discuss the new assessment with the Tax Assessor’s Office before the assessment is finalized. Property owners also have the right to file a formal appeal with the Burlington County Board of Taxation. The filing deadline is generally January 15, 2027, subject to the deadline and instructions provided with the official Notice of Assessment.

As a reminder, the State and County mandated the City undertake this “Revaluation/Reassessment” due to homes in the city selling at well above the old assessed value.  The new assessment brings our home values in line with current market conditions.

 

 

October 13th is the last day for brush pickup until March 2027. The loose leaf collection schedule is listed below.

Yard Waste Notice:

The City can not pick up yard waste in anything other than clear bags.  Please do not use black or green contractor’s bags nor the brown paper leaf bags for your yard waste.

Do not mix sticks, vines, nor trash in with your grass clippings and leaves.  These items should be placed in your regular trash collection with the exception of branches and tree limbs. 

Chipping of brush will take place on Tuesdays, weather permitting.  Please do not park in front of brush left curbside for chipping. Public Works will not drag tree limbs around vehicles. 

Please make sure all brush is facing the same direction.  Brush piles that are tangled, mixed with vines or other debris, will not be chipped.  This is for the safety of our personnel and the efficiency of operation. 

Brush to be chipped should be no less than four (4) feet in length and no more than six (6) inches in diameter.  We cannot take stumps or bamboo.  If you or someone you hire cut down any trees, you are required to make arrangements for the removal of the material.  The City will no longer chip brush left from tree removal and/or lot clearing.

Brush chipping operations are only for general property maintenance and storm debris.  Piles of brush should be neatly stacked, and single piles shall not exceed 3 feet in height, and 12 feet in length per week.  At no time, shall brush block sidewalks or travel lanes of roadways.

** CHANGE IN SCHEDULE** Grass and leaves, in clear bags, are picked up only on Mondays and chipping operations are on Tuesdays from the first week of March through mid October; weather permitting.
