Mortgages

Mount Olive Township will mail an original Tax Bill to your mortgage company, with advice copy to the owner, as long as the mortgage company has provided the Tax Office with their NJ Bank Code in writing. If we do not have the proper form with bank code from your mortgage company, then the tax bill will be mailed to the home owner and it will be their responsibility to forward the tax bill to the mortgage company.
