Important Tax Notice

As many of you are aware, the Governor issued an Executive Order that allows municipalities to extend the 2nd quarter tax due date to June 1, 2020.  Each municipality, however, must authorize a resolution to do so.  Please be advised that Riverside Township has NOT extended the due date at this time.  The Township Committee will hold a Special Meeting to consider the extension on May 8, 2020.  For further information on the meeting, please visit the Township website at:
