Issues Paying Property Taxes

[Thomas Polise]

Has anyone else had trouble paying their property taxes in Newark? I have been trying to pay my property taxes in Newark for weeks and it seems to be literally impossible. The website does not work when I want to "add my payment to cart." (I've tried multiple browsers). They provide 6 Newark numbers to call and they are all busy. When I was finally able to get a live person they hung up immediately and on my second attempt they put me on hold indefinitely. 

I called an outside person that supposedly takes payments, and they said the system is not working and to call someone in Newark. I would even be fine sending a check, but I just want to know where to send it but I cannot get an answer from anyone on this because it is impossible to get in touch with anyone. I called other people at the city unrelated to taxes to try and get them to connect me to someone but they told me to call the numbers I had already tried. 

This is partially a vent session, but really I just want to give the city money before I am penalized for not giving them money despite my many attempts to do so.
