Governor Jon Corzine’s proposed 2009 New Jersey state budget calls for cuts to municipal property tax relief based on population.
Municipalities with populations of less than 5,000 would receive no municipal property tax relief from the state. Those with populations greater than 5,000 but less than 10,000 would have municipal aid cut in half. The remaining municipalities with populations greater than 10,000 would have their state aid reduced to the amounts received in 2006-07 budget.
Department of Community Affairs Commissioner Joseph Doria said. "The incentives are we have the grants for shared services and working toward consolidation. That's the carrot. The stick is not receiving the aid." The Governor proposes $32 million for this purpose.
A fair way to allocate municipal property tax relief would be to grant the aid on a per person basis and let the chips fall where they may. The new aid formula takes inequity to a new level. Many of the numbers are jaw dropping, even by New Jersey standards.
Update: We have posted the municipal aid information for every town, including actual state aid for 2007, 2008 and proposed 2009 aid based on the new guidelines. You’ll also be able to compare municipal aid per person for every municipality.

Boy they just HATE small towns, don't they? I used to live in Madison, a much smaller town than Hamilton, Mercer County, but somehow Hamilton, the larger town has a bigger drop in aid.
ReplyDeleteI agree that this ought to be done on a per person basis. Punishing a small town is wrong - especially since some small towns already have other fees borne directly by the property taxpayers such as sewer, water and trash/recycling issues.
What happens if all those small towns actually do form partnerships - does teh governor THEN have a plan to put money back into the budget for them? How would that be paid for?
ReplyDeleteI hate to say it, but this literally demands a lawsuit.
ReplyDeleteJust a sampling of the impact this will have -- my township, Delanco, is looking at increasing the local purpose tax rate from $0.53 per hundred to $0.79 per hundred. That's a 50% increase in property tax rates! Why? Because we only have about 4,400 citizens and the governor has decided that we are "too small."
ReplyDeleteGreat and very useful stuff.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
I can't wait to leave New Jersey for good........ The socialists that run this state are making it impossible for decent people to live here. Iin another 20 years all you'll have are the extremely weathly, the needy and NJ Gov't workers... JimB
