Borough Hall to reopen on June 15

More than two months into sweeping statewide lockdowns to combat the coronavirus, the state is about to begin Stage 2 of its recovery.

Within that context, Haddonfield’s Borough Hall and Public Works facility will reopen to the public on Monday, June 15.

Social distancing guidelines will apply at entrances and in lobbies and corridors. Contact between Borough employees and members of the public will be at the doorways of interior offices, which will be covered by transparent protective material.

Members of the public who prefer to not enter the Borough Hall may leave documents in the box at the front entrance.

Affordable Housing meeting

A number of residents who are concerned about the Borough’s plans for an affordable housing project behind the Borough Hall will meet at the site on Thursday, May 28 at 7pm.

“Construction is slated to begin in July, so there is no time to waste,” they say. “Come see for yourself how oversized and poorly planned it is.

“Get informed and help us improve the project so new families are not warehoused in an undesirable space. Haddonfield can do better than this.”

Since the group will be “camped in the parking lot,” it is suggested that those who attend should “bring a chair.”

Tax deadline now June 1

During their meeting on Tuesday, May 12, the Borough commissioners changed the date for payment of property taxes without penalty from May 31 (a Sunday) to Monday, June 1.

The regular due date for second quarter tax payments was May 1. The commissioners extended the usual grace period to the end of the month, at 0% interest, provided payment is received on or before May 31, 2020. That “drop dead” date is now June 1.

The commissioners’ action recognizes the financial difficulties some residents are experiencing, because of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Property taxes that are not paid by June 1, 2020 will be subject to interest at the rate of 8% per annum up to $1,500 owed and 18% per annum over $1,500, calculated from the due date (May 1) until the date the payment is actually received.

Although the Borough Hall is closed to the general public, payments can still be made “in person” by placing them in the black mailbox in front of the building. Place the tax bill and check in an envelope marked “Tax Office.” The box is emptied daily. 

Paying by mail? The address is 242 Kings Highway E, Haddonfield NJ 08033.
