Please note that the 2024 4th quarter’s grace period is extended through December 12,2024.

Please review your Utility bills carefully; if the property is occupied and you receive a bill with zero usage, please notify the billing department as soon as possible.
Also, an Estimated Bill means the Meter or the MXU is not reading the actual usage. Please contact our office to set up an appointment. Ordinance 2023-15 addresses the steps we take on our end to adjust the billing once we have an actual read.
PLEASE READ: if you have not yet had your water service line inspected for Lead, please contact the water department at 609-490-5117
FINAL READS are ordered via email – tax@hightstownborough.com or faxed to 609-371-0267 (please include seller, buyer and closing date).
