Where does my property tax go?
The Township collects the amount of tax dollars that the three units of local government (local schools, municipal government, and county government) determine is necessary to operate.

How are Property Taxes Calculated?
A municipalities general tax rate is calculated by dividing the total dollar amount needed to meet local budget expenses by the total assessed value of all its taxable property.

An individual's property taxes are then calculated by multiplying the general tax rate by the assessed value of the individual's particular property.

The State of New Jersey does not participate in drafting of local budgets, nor does it receive any of the property taxes collected.
