Wenonah residents face Aug. 1 tax and water-sewer deadlines as 2026 ordinances remain on borough agenda
Wenonah residents are facing an Aug. 1, 2026, deadline for both third-quarter property taxes and second-quarter water/sewer bills, according to notices posted by the borough. Property-tax payments have a grace period through Aug. 20.
The notices create an immediate payment date for homeowners and utility customers, while the borough’s 2026 public-record archive lists municipal actions that could shape longer-term decisions about affordable housing, fire protection, development fees and capital spending.
Two bills share the Aug. 1 deadline
In a July 23 notice, the Borough of Wenonah said property-tax bills had been mailed. The notice states that third-quarter property taxes were due Aug. 1, 2026, and that the grace period runs through Aug. 20.
A separate notice dated July 10 said water/sewer bills had been mailed. It identifies the second-quarter water/sewer bill as due Aug. 1.
The available notices do not state the amount due, whether water or sewer rates changed, the average property-tax bill, or the total tax levy. The notices also do not establish that Wenonah has imposed a tax increase.
2026 archive lists several ordinances
Wenonah’s 2026 current-record archive, listed as current through June 26, includes Ordinance 2026-4 concerning affordable housing. It also lists Ordinance 2026-7 concerning the purchase of a fire vehicle, Ordinance 2026-11 concerning development fees and Ordinance 2026-12 concerning a capital bond.
The archive’s description also includes records concerning Wen Lake fees and a social-media policy. The available source material identifies the subjects of those records but does not provide their full text or explain their financial or operational effects.
The archive is evidence that these ordinances and notices are part of the borough’s 2026 current records. It does not, by itself, establish that every listed ordinance was finally adopted. The available borough material does not provide the full text or adopted financial effect of each ordinance, including the fire-vehicle and capital-bond measures.
Shared-services figure provides budget context
Separate Gloucester County records list Wenonah’s stated 2025 local-purpose tax savings from shared services at $254,036. The same county record gives an indicated local tax-savings figure of 11.65 cents.
That figure is a county-recorded shared-services measure, not a statement that $254,036 was passed directly to individual taxpayers. The available material does not explain how the figure affected any resident’s particular bill.
For now, the clearest next step for residents is the Aug. 1 payment deadline, with the property-tax grace period extending to Aug. 20. The borough’s archive identifies the broader policy and spending items to watch, but additional documents would be needed to determine their final status and effect.
