Please be patient while we implement procedural changes. At this time, all municipal government will remain open, however no person other than an employee is allowed into any building unless absolutely necessary and an appointment is scheduled in advanced. We encourage residents to contact departments by phone or email.

• FREE RABIES CLINICS
  The Free Rabies Clinics for the month of April have been cancelled consistent with the Governor’s Executive Order against group activities. The Public Affairs Office will look to reschedule these rabies clinics at a future date. In the meantime, pet owners, as able, should contact their veterinarian to update their pet’s rabies vaccine.

• The Municipal Court is now closed until further noticed. Uncontested motor vehicle violations and parking tickets can be paid online by going to www.njmcdirect.com. Please call 973-284-4945 with any other questions.

Revenue and Finance

• All property revaluations have been postponed until further notice.
• DOG AND CAT LICENSE RENEWAL FEES
  The $10.00 late fee for pet license renewals has been waived at this time. First and foremost is everyone’s need to practice social distancing and to avoid unnecessary contact. If a pet owner needs to delay updating their pet’s license or needs to update their pet’s rabies vaccine, they should do so with safety in mind. We will get through this together, and let’s not worry about late fees during this health emergency.

If this is the case with you or anyone you know, please email Commissioner Rogers at commissionerrogers@nutleynj.org with the family’s contact information. The families deserve a call and Commissioner Rogers will personally reach out.

Public Safety

• Please be advised that the Department of Public Safety will be fully staffed and will continue to respond to all emergencies within the Township. We ask that if you are under quarantine or symptomatic that you let the dispatcher know when you call 911.
