 PLEASE NOTE: Direct Debit Forms must be submitted for processing at least 30 days prior to the due date for which you wish to start using this payment option.

 Important Info Regarding Payments Made With Online Banking Services:

 Sea Isle City’s Tax & Utility Collection Office has automated the process of online payments and no longer reviews online payments manually.  Online payments automatically post to the account number that customers enter in their online banking payment system.

Unfortunately, many customers who use online banking often input inaccurate or incomplete information into their bill payment system. So please take a moment to double-check that you have added the correct account number information in the correct format so that your payments will be credited to the account you intend to pay.

 Please Follow These Guidelines When Banking Online:

 Customers who utilize an online banking payment system will need to create two (2) separate “Payees” (one for property taxes and one for water/sewer utility payments).

Customers with more than one account for property taxes and/or more than one account for utility payments must send separate payments for each (only one account number per payment).

Online banking customers must include the following information in their bill payment system to ensure the proper application of payments…

·FOR PROPERTY TAXES: Use your full 8-digit account number, including the leading zeros (example: 00001442). To find your property tax account number, look for the box located at the top left side of your property tax bill (just above the assessed valuation information).

·FOR WATER-SEWER BILLS: Use your utility account number including the “dash” (example: 1086-0). To find your utility account number, look at the top of the box on the left hand side of your utility bill (just under the City’s contact information).

Property tax bills are mailed annually (once a year) after June 1st and payments are due quarterly as follows: August 1st, November 1st, February 1st and May 1st.

The City of Sea Isle City has been waiving water interest charges for non-payment on accounts since October of 2021 in accordance to the Governor of New Jersey’s E.O. 229.  We are extending those practices and including unpaid sewer charges until April 20, 2022 again in accordance to State Senate Bill 4081.  This grace period will give our Property Owners the time they need to begin making payments.  Any payments made towards interest have been credited forward and will reflect on your upcoming bill.

HYDRANT FLUSHING
During the months of April and May, the Sea Isle City Water Department will be flushing-out the water distribution system through the fire hydrants and exercise water valves throughout town. Semi-annual hydrant flushing is required to ensure that hydrants and the water distribution systems are functioning properly and can provide the proper drinking water quality (thus providing adequate water flow when needed). This is also a requirement for the Water Quality Accountability Act.  If a hydrant is being flushed near your home or business, we encourage you to avoid using washing machines, dishwashers or other water using devices during flushing operations. Residents can expect very little disruption in their water service - if any.  However, low water pressure and possible water discoloration may occur.  In the event of discoloration, simply allow water to run from the tap for a short while until clear. These conditions are not harmful and are usually short term. For additional info, phone 609-263-6000 (ext. 11) or email: dteefyjr@seaislecitynj.us.

FLUSH WISELY -- Please be aware that disinfecting wipes, baby wipes, paper towels, and paper napkins are NOT FLUSHABLE and should be thrown in the trash after being used. Even those products marked “flushable” are not. Flushing these items down the toilet can clog sewer pumps and cause sewer mains to back-up. They can also create problems for home septic systems. So, please do not flush cleansing wipes, paper towels or napkins down the toilet. Thank you!
