Downtown Haddonfield will host the event at Republic Bank
Downtown Haddonfield will officially launch its “Shop Haddonfield” Property Tax Reward Program on Monday, Jan. 30, at 9:30 a.m. at Republic Bank, 30 Kings Highway E., Haddonfield. Republic Bank will provide light fare, and Mayor Jeff Kasko, Haddonfield commissioners and members of the Partnership for Haddonfield will be in attendance. The public is invited to attend.
In an effort to bolster the local economy, the Partnership for Haddonfield and the Borough of Haddonfield introduced the “Shop Haddonfield” Property Tax Reward Program in November 2016. Since then, 20 businesses, 790 homeowners and 24 renters/visitors have registered for the program. That number is expected to continue to grow.
The Property Tax Reward Program is a tax-incentive program that allows Haddonfield homeowners to earn a property tax credit each time a purchase is made at a local business participating in the program.
“Shop Haddonfield” cards were distributed to all Haddonfield residents the first week of December. When shopping at a participating business using the reward card, a percentage of each purchase is applied as a credit to the home owner’s property tax bill. The Partnership for Haddonfield and the Borough of Haddonfield encourage everyone to register the card at www.PropertyTaxCard.com/ShopHaddonfield to start saving today. A full list of participating local businesses and their tax reward offers can also be found on this site.
Once registered online, simply present the “Shop Haddonfield” reward card when purchasing an item or service from a participating business. You can also provide the phone number used to register your card to receive your credit.
The property tax rewards are processed electronically, and will accrue in an escrow account until the end of the fiscal year (May 1 through April 30). The total amount of credits earned during this period will be credited to homeowner’s third quarter property tax bill.
Those who do not own a property in Haddonfield can also participate in the Property Tax Reward Program by registering at www.PropertyTaxCard.com/ShopHaddonfield. Visitors and renters who participate in this program will receive a yearly rebate check for the amount of savings (minus a $7 check processing fee).
