Base taxes are due between May 1 and June 30.
10% Penalty applies to tax payments made between July 1 and
December 31.
Paying Your Tax Bill:

Please make check payable to
Laura Hoffman, Tax Collector and mail it with your payment stubs to PO BOX 430, Kunkletown, PA 18058.

Interim B is billed on July 1 with Discount period ending on August 31. Base period runs from September 1 to October 31. Penalty begins on November 1.
DO NOT COMBINE THE COUNTY/TOWNSHIP INTERIM PAYMENT WITH THE SCHOOL INTERIM PAYMENT INTO ONE CHECK. THEY REQUIRE SEPARATE PAYMENTS AS THEY'RE SEPARATE TAXING AUTHORITIES.
School taxes are billed on August 1. The Discount period is in effect from August 1 to September 30. Base runs from October 1 - November 30. 10% Penalty period is
from
December 1 - 31.
Installment payment option may be selected by the Tax Payer by sending in the installment payment by August 31.
All payments received from December 16 - 31 must be in the form of a Certified Check or Money Order. No personal checks will be accepted during this timeframe.
PLEASE DON'T COMBINE YOUR SCHOOL TAX PAYMENT AND COUNTY/MUNICIPAL TAX PAYMENT INTO ONE CHECK. These are 2 different bank accounts and therefore require separate checks for deposit.
Bulk checks for multiple parcels are accepted, but only for the specific bill account type. If you are paying for several properties, you must make the lump check for County/Municipal and a separate lump check for the School Taxes. These are 2 separate bank accounts.
