Pre-paid Taxes postmarked by 12/29/2017 will be deemed as paid in 2017. The recently-adopted federal tax plan includes a combined $10,000 deduction limit on property, state, and local income taxes. Previously, there was no limit on this deduction. Because of this change, many taxpayers have been asking about pre-paying 2018 property taxes in 2017.

The Township of Cranford’s Tax Collector’s Office has been accepting pre-payment of property taxes from those who wish to do so. As of this time, the Township has only issued tax statements for the first two quarters of 2018. The 3rd and 4th quarter amounts will not be known until 2018 budgets have been adopted, however, the Township will accept payments from those who wish to pay more than the 1st and 2nd quarter taxes.

The Township is not issuing advice on whether property owners should pre-pay taxes, how much to pre-pay, or the possible tax impact, including whether the IRS will allow the payments to be deductible on 2017 federal income taxes.

To ensure that payments made by check are deposited and cleared by the end of the year, checks should be received no later than Friday, December 29th. Include the block and lot number and indicate it is for 2018 in the note section.
